Paneer Tikka ( without oven, on stovetop )

This is a classic tandoor dish which is almost everyone's favorite. I love it too and always used to think that you cannot make it without an oven or a tandoor. But here is my attempt at making it without an oven and it turned out yummmmy. Hope you will enjoy as much as I did.
Ingredients:
250 gm paneer (cottage cheese)1 cup curd1 tsp garam masala powder1 tsp ginger garlic paste1 tsp red chilli powder3 tsp oilsalt to taste
Method:
Whisk the curd till it is smooth.Add salt, chilli powder, garam masala powder, ginger garlic paste and mix wellCut paneer into slices or cubes as you prefer.Prick the paneer cubes with a fork on both the sides.Now add these to the curd. Mix well and set it aside for 1 hour.Now the paneer should be well marinated.Heat a tawa (pan) on a medium flame. Once heated, grease it with oil and place the paneer as shown below in the picture.Keep the heat on a low flame. Make sure you check often so it does not get burnt.Cook on both the sides till it is crisp.Ready to serve.Serving Suggestions:
Serve as a snack or a starter along with lemon slices, sliced onions and green chutney.
Tip: Do not cover the tawa with a lid. You can get a grilled feel by cooking it a bit longer. Just make sure it does not get burnt.I have used a non stick tawa. If you are not using a non-tick tawa, you will need more oil.
