Paneer Tikka

Servings: 4

Ingredients

Tikka Marinade

  • 1 cup yogurt
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 tbsp kasori methi (dried fenugreek leaves)
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp minced ginger
  • 1 tbsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp salt

For the Grill

  • 400g Paneer (1 package, about 1 2/3 cups)
  • 1 large green pepper
  • 1 large onion
  • wooden skewers for grilling

Instructions

Prep the Grill Ingredients

  • In a large deep dish, soak wooden skewers for at least 2-3 hours before you plan on grilling.
  • Dice the paneer into large cubes, about 1-2 inch square.
  • Dice the veggies into large cubes as well.

Prepare the Marinade

  • Mix all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl till well combined.
  • Add the paneer and veggies. Mix till they are well coated.
  • Let the paneer and veggies marinate for a couple of hours (minimum 30 mins).

Make and Grill the Skewers

  • When you are ready to grill, pre-heat your BBQ.
  • While the BBQ pre-heats, prepare your skewers: Drain the soaked wooden skewers, and thread the paneer and veggies onto the skewers, alternating the paneer and veggies.
  • Grill a few minutes a side, till they start to develop a light char on all sides.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Try this with some garlic sourdough naan, and raita!
For stovetop option:
Heat a few tablespoons oil in a wok on medium heat. If you want an extra kick add a few chopped green chillies to the hot oil, stir-fry a few seconds to get fragrant then dump in the marinated paneer and veggie mixture and stir-fry for a few minutes allowing the liquid to absorb and the paneer to be heated through. Serve warm rolled up in a paratha with a drizzle of garlic sauce or hot sauce for a spin on a paneer kati roll!
