We are starting the fourth and final week of BM#52, featuring Kid's Delight Snacking all the way. As it must be so clear, I love snacks. And when it comes to snacks that I can feed my kids, its only natural it has to be Paneer. I love Paneer too. I am thrilled that my kids love it as well. It kind of makes things easy.

For the day one of Snacking all the way, I made Makhmali Paneer Tikka. I have always enjoyed the creamy Paneer Tikkas when we dine out. I have mostly made Tandoori Paneer Tikka and with so many versions. It was an only natural right, given my addiction to Paneer Tikkas.

I have Grilled Paneer Tikka , Tandoori Paneer Tikka on Stove Top, Microwave Paneer Tikka, Paneer Tikka Ver 2, Instant Paneer Tikka, Hariyali Paneer Tikka Sandwich phew!

Anyway I guess there is always a place for another Tikka to come on and thats what I did.

Before I get on with the recipe, I thought I should share my interesting conversation I had with my twins this afternoon. As I was trying to nap in the afternoon, they both came to give me company and suddenly Peddu asked me what I do as in work. I explained my job and he was trying hard to understand, when Chinnu asked, he thought I was a cooker as I am cooking all the time. I told me that I cook to feed them and not a cooker.

The reason both gave was, since they always see me cooking, and they even know blogs. So next was what my blog was for. Anyway long story short, I realized it was quite tough to explain to kids what one does as their day job, when all they see is something else. And imagine being a cooker. I remember even Konda has asked me if I was a cooker even she was younger.

So being a cooker, this is the best snack I was able to come up with!

Being a cooker is sure a tough job 🙂 I go through this with my son too -- he has only few job descriptions in his mind (like policeman, fireman etc) and cannot understand any other jobs 🙂
That paneer makhmali looks so amazing. Perfect dish to make on the grill. Will try some time.

I've heard my kids say, "I'm the best cooker in the whole wide world", so I can relate the cooker comment your kids gave you. The tikka looks perfect for kids like me too Valli!
