Trivia
[Hardcore] Complete vegetarian version of 'Chicken Tikka'. Since Paneer (cheese) doesn't melt when heated, it can be baked in Tandoor's near 400°C high temp. For India's meatless wealthy/vegetarians, a 'feast' synonym starring at wedding parties, premium restaurants, and streets. Using mustard oil in marinade is the authentic absolute condition.
