Achari Paneer Tikka- Marinated and fried cottage cheese and capsicum snack

Paneer tikka is an all time favorite which ever way you make it.There are so many marinade and coating to make paneer tikka.

How To make paneer tikka

The first and most important thing is to get fresh and soft paneer,I often make paneer at home  when ever I make paneer tikka .There are so many ways to make paneer tikkas.

Some people prefer to roast it on open flame/bbq, some prefer to shallow fry it or grill in oven.I have tried all the methods to make panner tikkas and liked all, it all depends upon the time and availability.

Today I am sharing the quickest way of making paneer tikka -by deep frying,but you can easily make this directly on open flame or shallow fry in little oil or grill in oven.

The marinade of paneer tikka also depends on the taste or preference of every individuals,but main ingredients are -a binding agent -either gram flour,corn flour or even bread crumbs, some yogurt,few strong spices to add flavor like mint ,kasoori methi , carom seeds/ajwain, chili powder .

To add some sourness add lemon juice or chat masala.You can also add boiled potatoes,broccoli,cauliflower,mushroom,zucchini,baby corn ,tofu etc.

    Hello,
    It is a very tempting recipe but I want to know when to add pickle masala since its not mentioned in the procedure 😀
    I am a new bride so excuse me if the question sounds stupid.
