Ingredients

  • 150 grms Paneer
  • 3 tbsp yogurt
  • 1 tsp tandoori masala
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • 1/2 tsp red chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 1 small bell pepper sliced
  • 1 small onion sliced
  • 1 small jalapeno sliced
  • ¼ cup Cilantro chopped
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves of garlic grated
  • 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1 cup Tikka Sauce
  • 1 Dinner rolls 12 in a pack (Hawaiian rolls)

Instructions

  • Mix the yogurt and spices, make marinade. Add sliced paneer to it and let it sit for 10 minutes. You can cover it and leave it for longer time too.
  • Take 2 tbsp of oil in a pan on medium heat, add paneer once the oil is hot. Grill it on both sides until you see some color.
  • Assemble the sliders
  • Preheat oven at 350 F. Prepare 8” inch or 9” baking tray or pan. For easy use and to remove the buns easily use parchment paper on the bottom.
  • Cut the sliders in half, the whole loaf. Slather them with the tikka sauce, and then place paneer slices on each bun, you can do two layers of paneer too if you like. I went with one.
  • Add cheese and followed by peppers, jalapenos, and onions. Slather tikka sauce on the inside of top buns too. Cover with the top layer of buns, drizzle, or slather garlic butter on it.
  • Cover the whole thing with a foil and bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes. Halfway through the process, remove the foil and bake uncovered until you see nice toasty color on the buns.
  • Remove them and add some cilantro on top, if you like.
  • Serve with extra tikka sauce, green chutney, and some chopped jalapenos on the side.
  • Garlic Butter - To make garlic butter, melt butter and add grated garlic and finely chopped cilantro to it. Give it a mix and leave it.

Notes

Keep the tikka sauce thick. Thinner sauce will make it soggy.
Cut the paneer slices based on the size of the bun so you have proper ratio of paneer to bun.
I used shredded mozzarella, but try it with pepper jack or any other melting cheese of your choice.
