• 8. The paneer tikka’s can be baked in oven or grilled on a stovepan.
• 9. If making on a stovetop brush the grill pan with oil. Make sure there is enough oil so the paneer doesn’t stick. Grill the paneer tikka’s for about 5-10 minutes each side till the edges are charred and vegetables are soft.
• 10. If making in an oven. Pre-heat the oven on 200 C for about 10 – 15 minutes. Layer a baking sheet with aluminimum foil and brush it with oil. Bake the paneer tikka for about 20 – 30 minutes. Turn the skewers halfway through so that both sides are grilled.
