Tejas’s Paneer Tikka

This recipe is for my husband Tejas’s famous paneer tikka! He made it for a get together and it was a hit, as always. We don’t have a BBQ, so we used our big toaster oven and it worked nicely, but of course grilling would be better. You could do a little bigger pieces for the grill too so it wouldn’t fall through. Tejas is not big on measuring ingredients (I try to for the sake of posting recipes, but if I wasn’t posting, I wouldn’t be measuring so much either) so I just listed the ingredients. The picture will give you an idea of what it should look like.
