Paneer Tikka is a popular Indian appetizer made from marinated paneer (Indian cottage cheese) cubes grilled or baked to perfection. Bursting with smoky flavor, spices, and charred edges, it’s a vegetarian favorite at every barbecue or party. The good news? You don’t need a tandoor to make it—your regular oven, grill pan, or even an air fryer will do the trick! 🌶️ Ingredients For the Marinade: 200–250g paneer, cut into 1.5-inch cubes 1/2 cup thick curd/yogurt (hung curd preferred) 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste 1 tsp red chili powder (adjust to taste) 1/2 tsp turmeric powder 1 tsp garam masala 1/2 tsp cumin powder 1/2 tsp coriander powder 1 tbsp lemon juice 1 tbsp oil (mustard oil for authentic flavor, or use regular) Salt to taste Vegetables (Optional but recommended): 1 onion, cut into chunks or petals 1 bell pepper (any color), cut into squares 1 tomato, cut into chunks 🥣 Instructions Step 1: Prepare the Marinade In a large mixing bowl, whisk the curd until smooth. Add all the spices, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, oil, and salt. Mix well until you get a smooth, thick paste. Step 2: Marinate Paneer and Veggies Add the paneer cubes, onion, capsicum, and tomatoes to the marinade. Gently toss to coat everything evenly. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (1–2 hours is ideal for deeper flavor). Step 3: Skewer It Up Thread the marinated paneer and vegetables alternately onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15–20 minutes beforehand to prevent burning. Step 4: Cook the Tikka You can cook paneer tikka in multiple ways: A. Oven/OTG: Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Place skewers on a baking tray lined with foil or parchment. Bake for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway. Broil/grill for 2–3 minutes at the end for that smoky char. B. Stove-top: Heat a grill pan or non-stick pan with a little oil. Place the skewers and cook on medium heat, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden and slightly charred. C. Air Fryer: Preheat to 180°C (360°F). Place tikka pieces in the basket (don't overcrowd). Air fry for 10–12 minutes, shaking halfway through. Step 5: Serve Hot! Serve your delicious paneer tikka with green chutney, lemon wedges, and some sliced onions. Sprinkle a bit of chaat masala on top for extra zing. 🧑‍🍳 Pro Tips: Use firm paneer so it holds shape. Hung curd helps prevent a watery marinade. For a smoky restaurant-style flavor, place a piece of hot charcoal in a small bowl in the center of your tikka, drizzle some ghee on top, and cover it for 2 minutes—instant tandoor vibes! ❤️ Why You'll Love This Dish: Paneer Tikka is: High in protein Vegetarian and gluten-free Full of bold Indian flavors A guaranteed crowd-pleaser!
