Paneer tikka is family favorite at home. Aj and Vj loves it. I too like it, but rarely make at home, mostly have it at restaurants. We love the flavour that tandoor gives to paneer tikka, that's why we love it in restaurant rather homemade. When preparing at home, I found butter is main ingredient also giving a slight char so that we get the restaurant style flavour in paneer tikka. Butter + smokey flavour is what I love about tikkas.

I love savory toasts like besan bread toast. In my childhood days, bread is only bought when we were sick, no idea why. So it's always plain toast mom makes or we have it as such when we were not well. Amma at times toasts with vengaya chutney (onion chutney) with ample amount of ghee and it tastes divine 😍. But these days Aj loves snacks prepared with bread. We make a lot of short cut sandwiches, toasts with leftovers at times too. Like chana masala sandwich, aloo paratha stuffing + cheese sandwich etc.
