Paneer Tikka is a flavorful and smoky North Indian delicacy featuring marinated paneer cubes grilled to perfection with aromatic spices, served with mint chutney and onions—a must-try for tandoori lovers!
A star dish of North Indian cuisine, especially popular in Delhi and Punjab, Paneer Tikka is a mouthwatering appetizer that brings the rich flavors of the tandoor to your plate. Soft paneer cubes are marinated in a mixture of thick yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, Kashmiri red chili powder, garam masala, turmeric, chaat masala, and mustard oil, ensuring a perfect balance of spice and tanginess. The marinated paneer is then skewered along with bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes, and grilled or roasted in a tandoor (or on a pan) until it develops a smoky, charred flavor.
This dish is best served hot with refreshing mint-coriander chutney, lemon wedges, and onion rings, making it a favorite at Indian restaurants, street stalls, and home kitchens alike. Whether as a starter, a party dish, or part of a hearty meal, Paneer Tikka is a must-have for every paneer lover in India!
