Paneer Tikka

I came upon this ad on YouTube on Shana's Paneer Tikka Masala. Did not think that that they actually make ads for such products. The ad raves about the authentic taste of the curry ........you and I know how "authentic" it really tastes!!! Although here I must admit that these packets did come in handy during the good old grad student life, however it tasted like paneer in a bowl of tomato ketchup! And digressing a little from the current topic, a word of caution : never ever buy the Navaratna Korma. However attractive the picture on the front looks, the inside always tastes, literally, like feet (as Ross would say!)



Okay, coming back to the topic on hand, Paneer Tikka is actually pretty simple to make. Here a step by step video recipe for Paneer Tikka. Kudos to Hetal and Anuja for making cooking so easy to follow.
.

* I mostly followed the recipe except that I also marinated some onions, cherry tomatoes and capsicum to add some colour to the tikka. Do consider the marinating time of atleast 2 hours if you are making it for a party.
* I also cheated a little by adding some store brought tikka masala to my marinade instead of the tandoori masala. It made it a little more spicy and flavorful.



* Keep a watchful eye on the oven as the tikkas can burn pretty quickly. Sprinkle with some chat powder and enjoy!
