Whenever there’s a party or a get-together at home, easy-to-eat snacks are preferred by guests. Something that you can pop in your mouth and eat, something like a tikka. Tikkas are bite-sized delicacies that were prepared in Mughal kitchens by marinating meat or vegetables in spices and cooking on a tandoor. One vegetarian tikka that is popular today is the paneer tikka. While most recipes use a grill pan, there’s a hack to make it on a sandwich griller too.

It gives you the same char-grilled marks and smoky flavour while retaining the softness of the paneer. Want to try it at home? Here’s the recipe for Paneer Tikka On A Sandwich Griller.
