Flavorful paneer Tikka is a tasty snack also a healthy starter. Just like my fellow Indians, I love Paneer. I recently tasted this in a friend’s home.

She kept the marination ready and after having tea made the paneer Tikka in no time using Sandwich  maker. I asked if she followed any specific way for making it this way. She said marinate the paneer in your usual way and use the sandwich maker.

I tried the same with my panini maker and we all loved it. previously I use to bake paneer Tikka in oven but this one is super quick. Potato Tikka is yet another tasty Tikka variety to try.

I have tried the same with tofu too and It tasted yum😊 If you keep the marination ready this is one super quick snack.

Notes

1. If you want a quick appetizer bake the veggies without marination. sprinkle pepper powder and salt while tasting
2. Multi colored capsicum/ bell pepper can also be added with other vegetable
3. Use extra firm tofu otherwise it might break while inserting in skewers
4.Immerse the skewers in cold water for 15 min to avoid browning, if you are using wooden skewers. Metal skewers can be directly used
