What is Paneer Tikka?
Paneer Tikka is one of the quintessential Indian dishes. Tender paneer cooked using spiced yogurt, skewered, and grilled or baked on hot coals. Traditionally, a tandoor (a clay oven) was used; but this Paneer Tikka Recipe can be made with pretty much any type of grill pan, oven, or air fryer to achieve the same smokiness.
Pro Tips for the Best Paneer Tikka Recipe
- Use thick yogurt to prevent watery marinade.
- Always soak the skewers to avoid burning.
- Mustard oil enhances the smoky tandoori flavor.
- If using homemade paneer, refrigerate it before marinating to keep it firm.
- For extra smokiness, use the dhungar method (charcoal smoking technique).
