Shahi Paneer Tikka is a grilled paneer tikka made with a shahi masala in a mix of spices and served with grilled vegetables. This surely makes a wonderful party starter.
Shahi Paneer Tikka is made with a shahi masala along with kasuri methi and spices. A party is incomplete without this on the starter table and my kids surely love this. I have few tikka recipes, the most recipe was this Tawa Paneer Tikka that I made a while ago.
As traditions are followed, every year I try to create a menu. So for starters, these cauliflower pakodas join the Kid’s Delight Anniversary Party
This for the second day of Kids Delight Anniversary Party, where I am celebrating my blog anniversary with this event. We are doing the Week 1 of BM#93
