Quick and easy, these Paneer Tikka Pizza Sliders with a Indian twist are a delicious appetizer for weekend nights, birthday parties, and other gatherings. For something different than the same old burger buns or pav, these are stuffed with the spicy air-fried paneer tikka and loaded with pizza sauce and cheese. Basically an Indian variation to the popular sliders recipe flavored with the taste of restaurant style paneer tikka. Ideally, the paneer should be cooked in a tandoor, but if you don’t have access to one, air-fryer, oven or a super hot grill will do the job nicely. Refer Tandoori Paneer Tikka Recipe for step-by step process of making sizzling hot tikka at home.

This is my preferred pizza sauce recipe. I will be posting a separate post on the pizza sauce in some time. You may also use store bought pizza sauce for this recipe.

You can prepare paneer tikka well ahead of time and make the sliders right before serving.
