Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare the Marinade

   In a bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of thick fresh curd, 1 teaspoon of kasuri methi, a pinch of asafoetida, 1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder, a pinch of turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon of coriander powder, 1/2 teaspoon of Kitchen King Masala, and salt to taste.

2. 2.Add Roasted Besan and Oil

   Add 2 tablespoons of roasted besan to the bowl. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until a smooth, thick paste forms, ensuring no lumps from the besan. Then, add 1 tablespoon of oil and mix again.

3. 3.Marinate Paneer and Onion

   Add 200g of paneer cubes and 1 medium-sized onion (cut into cubes) to the marinade. Mix well to ensure the paneer and onion are evenly coated. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes.

4. 4.Cook Paneer Tikka

   Heat a pan with 1 tablespoon of oil. Add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the marinated paneer and onion mixture to the pan. Cook on medium flame, stirring continuously for 5-7 minutes, until the oil separates and the paneer tikka gets a smoky flavor. Remove from heat and set aside.

5. 5.Prepare Garlic Butter

   In a separate bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of slightly melted butter, 1.5 tablespoons of finely chopped garlic, 1 tablespoon of finely chopped coriander leaves, 1 teaspoon of oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon of chili flakes. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.

6. 6.Assemble the Sliders

   Take 4 pav buns and slice them lengthwise through the middle, separating the top and bottom halves. Spread the prepared garlic butter generously on the bottom halves of the pav.

7. 7.Add Chutney and Paneer Tikka

   On top of the garlic butter, spread 2-3 tablespoons of green chutney (coriander & mint). Then, evenly distribute the cooked paneer tikka mixture over the chutney.

8. 8.Add Cheese and Cover

   Grate approximately 100g of cheese generously over the paneer tikka filling. Place the top halves of the pav buns over the filling. Spread more garlic butter on the top of the assembled buns.

9. 9.Toast the Sliders

   Heat a tawa or flat pan on medium flame, then reduce the flame to low. Brush a little butter on the tawa. Carefully place the assembled sliders onto the tawa.

10. 10.Cook Until Golden and Cheesy

    Cover the sliders with a lid and cook on low flame for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the bottom of the buns are golden brown and crispy.

11. 11.Flip and Finish Cooking

    Carefully flip the sliders to toast the other side. Cook for another 2-3 minutes on low flame until both sides are golden brown and crispy.

12. 12.Serve

    Remove the hot Paneer Tikka Sliders from the tawa and serve immediately.
