Steps
- First of all chop the paneer in square shaped cubes. Dice the onions, tomato and capsicum in 1 or 1.5 inches square pieces. Keep the veggies and paneer aside.
- For making marination – In a large bowl, take the hung curd (greek yogurt) and whisk it lightly till it becomes smooth.
- Add all the spices and herbs, besan/gram flour and salt, except oil. Stir and mix well. Taste the marinade and add more salt if required.
- Add the diced vegetables (onion, tomato and capsicum) along with paneer slices. With your hands mix very well. So that the marinade coats the paneer and veggies evenly.
- Cover the bowl & keep the marinade in the fridge for 45 minutes to 2 hours. You can also keep overnight.
- After 2 hours thread the paneer and veggies alternately on bamboo skewers. (Soak or rinse the bamboo skewers before threading)
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non stick tawa or a well seasoned griddle. Coat the paneer and veggies with the marinade and place them on the tawa. You can fry them at a low flame or medium flame. When one side gets browned, gently lift and turn over.
- When paneer tikka is hot then sprinkle some chaat masala & lemon juice.
- Now our delicious and yummy Restaurant Style Tawa Paneer Tikka is ready for serve. Now arrange them in a serving plate and serve the paneer tikka hot with mint chutney, lemon wedges, and sliced onions. It works well as a starter or snack.
