Grilled Paneer Sticks With Peri Peri Spice Mix

This is a quick starter. I had leftover peri peri masala of McDonald, so first time I made this dish with that masala.  Everyone of my family was demanding again. So I made this masala by recipe of Chef Shantanu Gupte. I did some changes. Here is recipe....

Peri Peri Spice Mix/ Masala:

Ingredients:
Red hot chilli powder or Peri Peri Pepper- 3 tbsp (or whole dry red chillies- 1 cup)
Cumin Seeds- 1 tsp
Cloves- 5
Black Pepper- 1 tsp
Cinnamon-1 inch stick
Garlic powder- 2 tsp (or garlic cloves- 10)
Bay leaves- 2
Dried oregano- 2 tsp

This masala is made by two methods. 
1 st Method: 
Brake whole spices into small pieces. Grind together all ingredients into fine powder. Store in airtight container.
You can use spice powders like cinnamon, cumin etc if available.

2 nd Method: 
If you are using whole chillies and garlic. Soak dry red chillies in vinegar overnight with whole spices like cumin seeds, cloves, black pepper, bay leaf and cinnamon. Grind together into smooth paste. Store in freeze.
