Paneer tikka recipe is one of the best starters among vegetarian section. This is done by marinating and applying special spices to get authentic taste, it is also considered as one of the supplement for vegetarians during functions held in India.
You can treat paneer tikka as a kind of dry snack accompanied with your meals. Although it gives you feeling of heavy sensation when accompanied with rice, but it’s filled with many nutritional values. You can make it in tandoor if you have one, but I tried to prepare in a microwave oven as many of us may not have the tandoor.
People who don’t have either of microwave or tandoor, we can directly cook on coal or wood by keeping on a skewer. I have seen this recipe is sold on streets by cooking on charcoal. It was authentic having the flavor of smoke and the way they were cooking made me happy eating them. You may also like my previous recipes chicken tikka, mutton palak paneer and shahi paneer.
