Amritsari Paneer Tikka by Sangeeta on Dec 7, 2011

Named after the city where it originated, this easy fried,dish is a great appetizer or side dish to complement the main course.....actually it is made with FISH....but I made it with PANEER (cottage cheese)and grilled it instead of deep frying..:)
This dish is little bit spicy and also has prominent flavor of garlic,ginger and carom seeds.
