Paneer Tikka On Tawa?

Yes, that’s right! You can make a perfect restaurant style Paneer Tikka on Tawa.

When I make something in the kitchen, I always look for ways to simplify the recipe.

It gives me a feeling of satisfaction.

The Paneer Tikka in Tawa is one such recipe that gives me the same feeling.

For this recipe, you don’t have to have a Tandoor or Oven to get the perfect results.

Of course, the authentic kitchen tools often give the best results for your recipes, but you can still make use of available tools and come up with the same results.

And another best part of this recipe is you don’t need a particular type of Tawa.

You can make it in your regular Pan or Grilled Pan as well.

However, you need to make sure that the coating of your Tawa is in a good state.

Use a good non-stick Tawa for this recipe, as the Tikkas may stick to the Pan while shallow frying.

Tip: You can prepare these Tikkas on your Tawa in advance so that it can be used in other curry dishes like Paneer Tikka Masala, Paneer Amritsari, etc.

Notes

  1. Paneer Tikka may get stuck on the Tawa, so make sure you turn the skewers on regular intervals.

Variations

Paneer Tikka is a complete delicacy in itself, and it doesn’t need any additions to it.

But there is always a room for improvements and variations!

So, here are a couple of variations that you can try without changing too many things in the recipe –

Paneer Tikka With Honey Chili Sauce

Sounds tempting, right?

Well, you got to try this variation!

In this variation, you should drizzle a spoonful of the Honey Chili sauce over Paneer cubes. It gives an amazing taste to the spicy Tikkas.

Note – Serve the Paneer Tikkas hot with this sauce.

If you don’t want to prepare Honey Chili sauce at home, you can get it from any grocery store.

You can serve the Honey Chili Sauce separately if you don’t want to pour it on the Tikkas.

Paneer Tikka With Schezwan Sauce

How about using Schezwan sauce?

Schezwan sauce can give a nice fiery twist to this Paneer Tikka recipe.

Similar to the Honey Chili sauce variation, you should add Schezwan sauce or Chutney to the Tawa fried Paneer Tikkas.

If you like to experiment with Indo-Chinese food, I think this Schezwan style Paneer Tikka can be a great option for you.

You can also serve this dish for your evening snacks party and treat your guests with finger-licking surprise.
