Description

Paneer Tikka is a celebrated North Indian dish, renowned for its rich and creamy flavors of paneer (Indian cottage cheese) infused with aromatic spices. Soft, fresh paneer cubes are marinated in a blend of yogurt, spices, and lemon juice, allowing the paneer to absorb bold flavors while remaining tender and juicy.

The marinade features iconic North Indian spices such as turmeric, coriander, cumin, garam masala, and red chili powder, along with ginger-garlic paste for a zesty and aromatic touch. The paneer is skewered with vibrant vegetables like bell peppers and onions, then roasted in a traditional tandoor (clay oven) or grilled, imparting a distinctive smoky aroma and charred finish.

The dish is garnished with fresh coriander leaves and served with mint chutney, lemon wedges, and onion rings, offering a harmonious balance of smoky, spicy, and tangy flavors. As a quintessential North Indian appetizer, Paneer Tikka embodies the vibrant and rich culinary traditions of the region, making it a favorite for all occasions.
