Paneer Tikka is one of the famous starters or appetisers served throughout the country and is loved by all age groups.
I can not believe I haven’t posted the paneer tikka recipe on the blog. Sometimes we forgot to post even the most popular or everyday basic recipe thinking that it would have been uploaded already.
This paneer tikka recipe is very simple and tastes amazing as a starter or side dish for friends and family. I have learned this recipe from Tarla Dalal’s and is making it religiously since then.
