The smoky, charred tandoori dishes are sure to take the spotlight at any gathering, house party, or festive spread. Whether you’re travelling through the lanes of Delhi or exploring the roadside dhabas in Punjab, the North Indian tandoori treats are something that often catches everyone’s attention. But the major difficulty people face while planning to whip up their favourite grills is setting up the tandoor.
While an outdoor barbecue becomes a hassle in crunch time, especially during the monsoon season, the good news is that you don’t need to invest in a separate tandoor to enjoy the North Indian staples. With Usha’s multipurpose OTG (Oven, Toaster, Griller), you can make everything from chicken tikka to crispy kebabs at home, that too, with precision. So, for your house party, here are some North Indian grills that can be easily mastered with Usha’s OTG.
Classic Chicken Tikka
Chicken tikka is one of the most loved tandoori snacks amongst North Indians. Whether it's a Sunday, a family gathering, or a movie night, chicken tikka always finds its way to the spread. To make it without any fancy equipment, you can simply take some freshly chopped chicken pieces and let them rest in a curd-based marinade. In a few hours, you can arrange the marinated chicken in a baking tray and grill to perfection in Usha’s OTG.
Paneer Tikka
As for the vegetarians, there’s hardly a snack that beats the comfort of paneer tikka. To add it to your tandoori spread, you can start by marinating paneer in a mixture made with curd, ginger and garlic paste, and a blend of spices like red chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala, salt, and so on. Cover the paneer cubes in the marinade, and thread them on skewers. Arrange the skewers on a baking tray, and grill till they are crispy on the outside. Serve the paneer tikka with lachha onion and your favourite chutney.

Fish Tikka
Whether it’s Achari fish tikka, fish rikka curry, Amritsari machhi, or any of your favourite versions, each variation can be whipped up in Usha’s OTG. Some of the most popular fish options that are used to make the tandoori snack include basa, surmai, or sole. The boneless fish skillets are marinated and then grilled in the OTG for about ten to fifteen minutes. You can pair the smoky fish tikka with a mint chutney and serve hot.
Tandoori Mushroom
Tandoori mushroom is another go-to North Indian tandoori snack that you can add to your platter. All you need to do to make tandoori mushrooms is to take whole button mushrooms and marinate them in a dahi-based mixture. Grill the marinated mushrooms in Usha’s OTG till they get a golden-brown hue and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
Kebab
North Indian cuisine will be incomplete without a range of kebabs. Whether you’re a vegetarian or looking for meat-based options, you can get a wide variety of kebabs that can be easily made at home using Usha’s OTG. From the juicy galouti kebabs to tunday kebabs, or the vegetarian’s favourite hara bhara kebab or dahi kebab, you can get the crisp texture in no time, right at home. Plate them with chopped onion rings and serve with a spicy chutney.
