Introduction: 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 .

Supplies

  • 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)

Step 1: Preparing the Marinate

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!

Step 2: Mix It Well

Step 3: Put the Paneer Cubes in the Bowl

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

Step 4: Mix and Coat the Cubes Well With the Marinate

Step 5: Marinate It for 30 Mins

Step 6: Put the Paneer Cubes on Skewers

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

Step 7: Heat Up Some Oil in a Pan, and Cook the Paneer

Flame should be low while cooking

Step 8: Keep Turning the Skewers Every 1-2 Minutes

Paneer should be cooked from all the sides

Step 9: Once It Is Cooked From All the Sides, Its READY!

Enjoy!
