Paneer Tikka is an Indian tandoori dish which can be easily made at home. It is made from Chunks of Paneer marinated in spices and grilled in tandoor. It is purely a vegetarian dish. It is one of the best paneer recipes that can be served as starter or as an accompaniment. This is Paneer tikka and not paneer tikka masala. Paneer tikka is dry whereas paneer tikka masala is a gravy based dish. It very expensive dish. When I make at home so it's cheap and you can enjoy more. Paneer is good for bone health and good for diabetes people, It is rich in protein, magnesium, potassium. It helps in weight loss also.

Don’t worry, if you do not have a tandoor or grill; simply cook the tikkas on a greased Pan/Tava
