Grilled Paneer Tikka
Grilled paneer tikka is a popular Indian appetizer made with marinated paneer (Indian cottage cheese) and grilled to perfection.
Ingredients
- Skewers (4-6)
- Oil (1 tablespoon)
- Cherry tomatoes (8-10)
- Onion (1 medium, cut into cubes)

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well to make the marinade.
- Add paneer cubes to the marinade and gently toss to coat the paneer evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium heat.
- Thread marinated paneer cubes, bell peppers, onions, and cherry tomatoes onto skewers, alternating the ingredients.
- Brush the skewers with oil to prevent sticking.
