பன்னீர் தீச்சா டிக்கா – Paneer Thecha Tikka

Paneer thecha tikka is a spicy healthy traditional snack originated from Maharashtra. Recently I shared the paneer thecha recipe. This is a little different and easier than paneer thecha. I use shredded paneer for this recipe, you can use paneer crumble as well for this recipe. This is a no-carb recipe and a good addition to paleo diet.
