Tips
- Don’t overcook if frying or don’t overbake else you would have rubbery paneer. Be cautious of this and assure your dish would come out great.
- The paneer cubes have to be juicy and moist for any tikka recipe. We have used the homemade paneer which was fresh and moist. hence we would recommend using homemade or perhaps use fresh store-bought paneer.
- We have used Tawa to roast the paneer, but it tastes great when roasted on a barbecue or directly on the charcoal. You can also use a traditional oven to fry it.
