A traditional vegetarian delight, this dish is the most popular appetizer when ordering snacks in any restaurant. Now you can achieve the same standards as that of a restaurant quality dish when entertaining friends and family at home. This simple and really easy to make paneer tikka has a lovely smoky flavor from being grilled on a gas stove. I absolutely loved them.
You can also use them as a filling in wraps to make a delicious healthy one dish meal or just serve it as a starter in your parties and watch how your guests rave over them.
