    Nice recipe! The best thing is that it was all pictorial so it's easy to understand. If you have some unique recipes then you can even sell them to others for a fee. For example check http://theworkster.com/services/content/10-indian-recipes/

    Could we grill it in a microwave in the grill mode? If so is it viable to use the aluminium foil?

    Real taste of tikka is from Mustard Oil. try replacing ghee with mustard oil.

    Aarthi, you have to dry roast the besanwith some ajwain before adding to the marinade… And also heat some mustard oil and then cool it and add while marinating paneer/chicken…

    Hi Aarthi!
    Thanks so much for posting this recipe. I will surely try it. I have tried other recipes but the paneer turned out to be too dry. So I am curious to try your recipe. One question: when you suggest that marinade can be left overnight, should it stay out or in the fridge?
    Thanks so much!
