PANEER / THOFU TIKKA [SNACK]

Paneer is Indian cheese and I like paneer very much, as paneer is fat content I prefer thofu which is very good for health. Now a days as my son is having very long day schools after coming home he wants different  type of snacks which are “home made” so I am trying different verities in that this is one.

 Paneer tikka is a quick and easy snack or starter and just the look of grilled vegetables and paneer and mixing of simple spices.
