Paneer Tikka
Paneer Tikka is a quick and easy recipe made in just 20 minutes. I make this as a quick snack. If you want vegetables you can repeat this recipe using bell peppers and onions and then combine the two. Skewer them and put them on the grill or broil them in the oven.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cubed paneer soak in hot water
- 1 tbsp Tikka Masala Powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt to taste
- 1 tbsp cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Soak paneer in hot water for 10 minutes.
- Drain well
- sprinkle Tikka Masala powder over paneer
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a shallow pan on medium
- Add Paneer to the olive oil which should sizzle a little
- cook paneer on medium heat undisturbed for 3 minutes
- flip the paneer which should be bronze in color
- Turn heat up a little and cook paneer for 2 more minutes flipping and not allowing the paneer to over cook.
- Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with a tiny bit of salt and some cilantro.
Notes
Repeat this recipe using 1 bell pepper and 1 small red onion if you want vegetables with your paneer.
Alternatively you can skewer these paneer and the vegetables after you soak the paneer, and sprinkle them with Tikka Masala Powder. Don’t forget to soak your wooden skewers so they don’t burn. Spray or drizzle a little olive oil on them and grill for 6 minutes turning frequently.
These skewers can be baked as well in an oven on hi broil for 6-8 minutes turning mid way.
