Paneer Tikka





Paneer Tikka
Paneer tikka can be best served as a appetizer or a starter and is loved by both vegetarians and non vegetarians. Can you imagine an Indian outdoor summer party without paneer tikka or chicken tikka as a starter? The enticing smoky flavor of grilled paneer and its tangy spicy marinade makes it everyone's favorite.Here paneer is placed on skewers and roasted along with vegetables like bell pepper, onion and tomatoes.


Ingredients
Paneer - 400 grams
Red bell pepper- 1
Green Bell pepper 1
Onion-1 medium

For the marinade
Roasted gram flour- 2 tbs
Ginger garlic paste- 2 tsp
Turmeric powder- 1/3 tsp
Kashmiri Chilly powder- 1 1/2 tsp
Garam masala- 1 tsp
Cumin powder- a pinch
Chat masala- 1/2 tsp
Yogurt- 1 cup (hung curd)
lemon juice-1/2 lemon
Mustard Oil- 3 tsp




Cut paneer into two inch thick cubes. Cut the veggies also into similar sized cubes.
Mix in all the ingredients listed under marinade  into a thick paste. Add the cubed paneer and the veggies and mix till it is all coated with the marinade. Cover and set aside for at least two hour
Arrange the paneer and veggies in skewers. First place paneer followed by the veggie(soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least half an hour or it may get burned easily ..you can use satay sticks or tooth picks).
Place these  paneer skewers in a drip pan or on a greased baking pan turn on the broiler and broil for 3 minutes. Slowly roll the skewers and broil till the other side start browning up. If you do not get it properly browned in the oven you can place on a greased non stick pan  and slightly tilt it towards the flame. Enjoy with chaat masala and chutney.




Try this..
Hope you will all enjoy..

    Thanks all for stopping by and for the sweet comments..
    @ Suhaina you guessed right,it is similar..I found that it is a good binding factor and has a good nutty flavor along with mustard oil..

  37. Suja ManojSeptember 17, 2011 at 9:45 AM

    @Cookingvarieties thanks for stopping by..Bean curd is definitely a wonderful option.They have almost similar texture and I am sure would taste awesome..
    If you like try with paneer, you can use store brought paneer(any Indian grocery store) or you can make it at home by boiling and curdling milk with lemon juice.

Paneer Bhurji  Paneer Bhurji is easy to make, flavorful  and delicious side dish for rotis/chapatis. Paneer(Indian style cottage cheese) is now becoming part of my regular grocery list. Back in Kerala we never tried cooking with paneer. My parents love spicy food and so mom never experimented cooking mild gravy dishes with paneer.The only place you get a chance to try paneer dishes is at restaurants. Now I am buying paneer regularly and hunting new recipes to try.  Paneer burji is the easiest of all and perfect for beginners.It is made with scrambled paneer, tomatoes and flavorful spices. Healthy and protein packed this is also  the  easiest stuffing for chapati wraps. I tried this for my kids lunch box and it was a success.
