Paneer Tikka Recipe | Easy Paneer Tikka | How To Make Restaurant Style Creamy Paneer Tikka

Paneer Tikka recipe: Who can doubt the popularity of the much-loved paneer tikka?

This delectable Punjabi appetizer is served in homes and restaurants across the land, garnering diehard fans not only in India but also abroad.

The ubiquity and star status of easy paneer tikka, an all-time favourite snack, rests on its perfect blend of delicious spices and aromatics and the smoky flavour of the marinated and tandoor or oven-cooked cubes of paneer, grilled to a golden perfection.

Our paneer tikka recipe starts with large chunks of succulent paneer first being coated with a mixture of garam masala, black cumin, ajwain (carom seeds), turmeric powder, white pepper, and red chilli powder.

Then marinate paneer in a marinade of cream, besan (chickpea flour), kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves), and beaten egg.

The marinated paneer tikka is then threaded on a skewer and cooked in the oven (or a wood-fired tandoor, if you have one).

Onions, tomatoes, and capsicum are also sometimes marinated and grilled along with the paneer tikka, though we prefer the taste of pure paneer tikka without the veggies.

Chaat masala and lemon juice are drizzled at the end for that yummy extra zest and punch.

Serve paneer tikka hot with mint chutney, onion rings, and lemon wedges.

The wondrous paneer tikka is not only scrumptious but also terrifically versatile. Transform this delicious appetizer into a more substantial meal by pairing it with roti, naan, or parantha. Or convert it into paneer tikka masala by cooking the grilled paneer in a spicy gravy and serving it with naan or roti. Paneer tikka can also be used as stuffing in frankies, kathi rolls and wraps, as filling in sandwiches, as topping on pizza, and as an ingredient in fried rice and biryani.
