Achari Paneer Tikka
A flavorful twist on the classic paneer tikka, Achari Paneer Tikka features soft cubes of fresh paneer marinated in a tangy, spiced achari (pickle-style) marinade. This vibrant marinade is made with thick yogurt, mustard seeds, fennel, nigella seeds (kalonji), fenugreek, and a blend of traditional Indian pickling spices, along with a splash of mustard oil and fresh lemon juice for an irresistible tang. The marinated paneer cubes are skewered along with crunchy capsicum, onions, and tomatoes, then grilled or roasted in a tandoor until they’re slightly charred, smoky, and infused with bold achari flavors. Served piping hot with fresh mint-coriander chutney, onion rings, and a wedge of lemon, Achari Paneer Tikka is a zesty, mouth-watering vegetarian appetizer perfect for those who love robust, pickle-inspired North Indian flavors.
