Paneer Tikka


Ingredients (Translation)

1/4 kg Paneer cut into cubes
1 big spoon Curd
1 tsp Ginger-garlic paste
Salt to taste
Ghee or oil- for greasing
1 tsp Red chilli powder
1 tsp Garam masala powder
2 tsp Crushed kasuri methi
¼ tsp Ajwain
Red orange color- a pinch
1 Big capsicum cut into trianges
1 Big tomato cut into triangles
1 Big onion (optional, i didnt use)

Mix all ingredients except paneer, capsicum, tomato and onion.

Prick the paneer pieces using toothpick and add it to the mixture. Refrigerate for at least two hours.

Remove and micro high for around 4 to 5 minutes in a microwave safe strainer.

Grease it with ghee or oil and grill it for 7 to 8 minutes along with the other vegetable pieces, but remove the vegetable pieces after 2 to 3 minutes. Arrange the tikka as follows in a toothpick, first capsicum, tomato, onion, paneer, onion, tomato and finally capsicum. Prepare all pieces like this. You can even change the order, but always keep the paneer in the centre.

Spread some chat masala powder on it.

Your tasty paneer tikka is ready. Serve hot with some tomato sauce.

Can I ask a dumb question? What's curd? Is that yogurt?

EC said...

Thanks a kitchen scientist....

Yes, commondialog...both are same. but yogurt has a longer shelf life.
