Restaurant Style Paneer Tikka



Prep Time: 20 Min
Chill Time: 1 Hr +
Cook Time: 10 - 15 Min

Yields: 7 Skewers

​ 

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt & all the ingredients listed under it in the grocery list except for the fresh lemon and cilantro garnish. Whisk together and set aside.

 

1. Place the paneer bricks on your cutting board. First, slice them lengthwise in half. Secondly, cut each strip into 5 equal sized cubes. They might seem large, but they need to be!

 

1. Add the paneer, peppers, and onions to the mixing bowl with the yogurt. Toss to coat everything in the yogurt marinade. Cover, and refrigerate for a minimum of one hour.

 

1. Preheat the oven to 450 F

 

1. Soak some wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes prior to assembling. To assemble, remove the marinated paneer from the fridge and begin skewering alternating chunks of onion, pepper, and paneer, to fill the skewer. (About 3 pieces of paneer per skewer is good) Place the skewers on a parchment lined baking sheet that has been sprayed heavily with cooking spray. Continue until all skewers are completed. Spray the skewers with cooking spray before putting them into the oven.

 

1. Bake for 10 – 12 minutes before switching over to BROIL at 500 F. Let the skewers go until a nice char has developed. (Anywhere from 1 – 3 minutes)

 

1. For service, squeeze over some fresh lemon juice and garnish with fresh cilantro. ENJOY!
