Paneer Tikka
Paneer Tikka is a popular Indian appetizer made with chunks of soft paneer (cottage cheese) marinated in a flavorful mixture of yogurt and spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, red chili powder, garam masala, garlic, and ginger. The marinated paneer pieces are skewered along with colorful vegetables like onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes, then traditionally grilled in a tandoor or cooked over a hot grill or oven until slightly charred and smoky. Juicy, tender, and infused with rich, aromatic spices, Paneer Tikka is usually served with fresh mint chutney and lemon wedges — a perfect vegetarian starter that’s smoky, flavorful, and always a crowd-pleaser!
