Paneer Ki Tikki (cottage Cheese Snack)
The likings of my son and hubby are very very similar, so that makes it easy for me to make recipes both like. This recipe of paneer tikkia was handed over to me by my mother in law. She would make these for my husband quite often.

Now divide the Paneer dough into small rounded balls of eqaul size. Then press them between your palms to shape like tikkias.
