Paneer Tikka

Paneer Tikka (पनीर टिक्का) is a famous Vegetarian Indian dish. It is basically Indian Cottage Cheese marinated with yogurt, spiced with blend of Indian spices (Masala). It is a soft and spicy dish!

You can cook it on a pan, in a microwave or a grill .

• 100 grams Paneer or Tofu
• 1 1/2 tbsp yogurt
• 1 tsp Ginger-Garlic paste
• 1 tsp Kashmiri Red chilly powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin and fenugreek seed powder
• 1 1/2 tsp Tandoori Masalal or any Masala of your choice (Store-bought or home made)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Some Dried Fenugreek leaves
• A pinch of chat masala (Optional)

Add the following ingredients in to a mixing bowl:

1 1/2 tbsp yogurt
1 tsp Ginger-Garlic paste, 1 1/2 tsp Kashmiri Red chilly powder, 1/2 tsp cumin and fenugreek powder, 1 1/2 tsp Tandoori Masalal, 1/2 tsp salt, Some Dried Fenugreek leaves and a pinch of chat masala

I haven't used any red food colour, but instead used Kashmiri red chilly powder

Kashmiri red chilly powder is less spicy and gives a nice red colour to the marinate!

You can also add diced bell pepper and onion if you like.

• The skewers should be soaked in water for 20-30 mins or else they can burn while cooking.

Flame should be low while cooking

Paneer should be cooked from all the sides

Enjoy!
