Tawa paneer tikka recipe - Tawa fried paneer tikka

Tawa paneer tikka recipe - This tikka  is a delicious snack which can be served as a starter or as a side dish. Instead of oven, this tikka is prepared by shallow frying on tawa, hence it is called as tawa tikka. This is one of my favorite paneer dishes that I would like to prepare often. This snack is crispy from outside and soft from inside. The roasted onion and capsicum adds an exotic flavor and taste to the tikka.

susla in a serving bowl
Mandakki susla recipe -  Susla is nothing but upma prepared with soaked puffed rice and I made it as evening  teatime snack. It is very simple to make and easy on stomach. Though it is simple, it is full of carbohydrates, which we need for our energy. Kids are more active than adults and they need energy packed food. They may find it energy booster as it is rich in carbohydrate. It is more beneficial  when eaten along with a glass of hot milk or lassi.
