Ingredients
- 200g paneer cubes
- 1 cup diced capsicum
- 1 cup diced onions
- 100g curd
- 4 tbsp Laajawab Paneer and Vegetable Rub
- 2 tbsp ghee (if pan roasting)
- Skewers
Step-by-Step Paneer Tikka Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
Begin by making the marinade that will coat your paneer and vegetables with a burst of flavours. In a bowl, combine 100g of curd with 4 tablespoons of Laajawab Paneer and Vegetable Rub. Mix well until the rub is fully blended into the curd, creating a smooth marinade.
Step 2: Marinate the Paneer and Vegetables
Add 200g of paneer cubes, along with diced capsicum and onions, into the bowl with the marinade. Toss everything together gently, ensuring that each piece of paneer and vegetable is well-coated with the marinade.
Step 3: Marination Time
To allow the flavours to infuse into the paneer and vegetables, let the mixture marinate for about 15 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the spices to penetrate deep into the ingredients, making each bite flavorful.
Step 4: Skewer and Cook
After marinating, thread the paneer and vegetables alternately onto skewers. If you’re roasting them in a pan, heat some ghee in a pan over medium heat and place the skewers on it. Cook until the paneer turns golden brown and slightly charred on all sides, flipping occasionally to ensure even cooking. Alternatively, you can use an air fryer to achieve a similar charred effect with less oil.
Cooking Tips for Perfect Paneer Tikka
- Marination Time: While 15 minutes is enough to coat the paneer, letting it marinate longer (up to an hour) can enhance the flavours further.
- Cooking Temperature: Cooking over medium heat ensures the paneer remains tender while getting a good char.
- Avoid Overcrowding: If using a pan, ensure not to overcrowd it. This allows each piece to cook evenly and achieve a nice crust.
