Paneer Tikka

Paneer Tikka is a popular North Indian dish made from marinated cubes of paneer (Indian cottage cheese) that are skewered and grilled to perfection. The paneer is typically marinated in a spiced yogurt mixture that includes ingredients like turmeric, cumin, coriander, garam masala, and chili powder, giving it a rich and smoky flavor. The dish is often served with onions, bell peppers, and mint chutney, enhancing its taste and presentation. Traditionally cooked in a tandoor (clay oven), Paneer Tikka has become a favorite vegetarian option for its texture and ability to absorb flavors. Known for its high protein content, it is a nutritious yet indulgent dish enjoyed at restaurants, street food stalls, and home gatherings alike. Paneer Tikka showcases the diversity of Indian cuisine and its mastery of spices.
