Ingredients
- 1 medium sized onion cubed
- 1 medium sized tomato cubed
- 1 medium sized capsicum cubed
For the marinade:
- 15 medium sized paneer cubes
- 3 tablespoon hung curd
- 1 teaspoon chilli powder
- a pinch turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon garam masala powder
- ½ teaspoon chat masala powder or tandoori masala powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon pepper powder
- ½ tablespoon ginger garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon oil
Instructions
- How to make hung curd: Hang ½ cup curd in a muslin cloth)or any thin cloth) for an hour to make the required hung curd.
- Chop capsicum, tomato and onion into medium sized squares just enough to insert into skewers. Cube the paneer and make it ready. Now mix the ingredients listed under 'for the marination' and keep aside.
- Now mix paneer with the marinated ingredients and keep refrigerated for an hr. Then take it out and insert the paneer, capsicum, tomato and onion in skewers alternatively. Arrange the remaining paneer pieces on the tray itself. Brush with oil on top.
- Preheat the oven at 210 DEG C and arrange the paneer tikkas in the baking tray and grill the paneer tikkas for 15-18 minutes turning over the skewers in between for even cooking. Your paneer tikkas are ready, serve hot with green chutney and raw onions.
- Serve hot!
Notes
- You can even marinade capsicum,onion and tomato with the marination ingredients or just insert them raw. I usually do the paneer marination first then use the left over marination curd mix for onion-tomato-capsicum.
- You can also arrange the paneer tikkas straight on the wire rack itself but be careful with the temperature (if you are using this method) as the tikkas are exposed to the flame directly.
- You can skip tomatoes and use different color capsicums too.
- Make sure the paneer pieces are firm enough to insert else it will break in between.
