Marinade for Paneer Tikka

Method

Preparation and Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, garam masala, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, lemon juice, and salt to create a smooth marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Paneer

    Cut the paneer into cubes and add it to the marinade. Mix well to coat the paneer evenly. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably in the refrigerator.

  3. 3

    Prepare Vegetables

    Cut the bell peppers and onion into cubes that are similar in size to the paneer.

  4. 4

    Assemble Skewers

    Thread the marinated paneer, bell peppers, and onion alternately onto skewers.

  5. 5

    Grill the Tikka

    Preheat the grill or oven to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the paneer is golden and slightly charred.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the grill, serve hot with mint chutney.
