INGREDIENTS
METHOD

Servings: 4

400 grams of paneer, cut into cubes

2 bell peppers (capsicum), cut into 2cm pieces

1 onion, cut into 2cm pieces

4 heaped tablespoons of thick, creamy yogurt

1 tablespoon of lemon juice

2 tablespoons of ghee

3 teaspoons of Mandala tandoori masala

Coriander leaves, chopped

Lemon wedges

Prepare:

Cut your paneer into equal 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Cut your onion and bell peppers (capsicum) into 2cm pieces and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, add the paneer cubes and Mandala tandoori masala and gently toss to coat the paneer with the marinade.

If the ghee is cold and hard, then slowly melt it, so it becomes runny and then add to the paneer. Stir well.

Add the yoghurt and lemon juice and stir.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight to marinade.

Cook:

Preheat your BBQ grill or oven to 200°C.

Thread the marinated paneer onto the skewers with a piece of onion and pepper in between each piece of paneer. If not using skewers, spread on a baking tray, leaving some space between each piece.

Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally if grilling or leave in the oven for about 15-18 minutes until the paneer is charred and golden brown on all sides.

Remove from the grill or oven and transfer the paneer tikka to a serving plate.

Garnish:

Garnish with chopped coriander leaves, and serve hot with lemon wedges, mint chutney and onion rings.

Enjoy your delicious Paneer Tikka!
