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.
