PANEER TIKKA

PANEER TIKKA

INGREDIENTS

• 30, 2" cubes of paneer (cottage cheese) - see recipe below
• 3 tbsps Tandoori Masala (see recipe below)
• 1/4 cup yogurt
• 1 large onions cut into 1" square pieces
• 5-6 tbsps vegetable/ canola/ sunflower cooking oil
• 2 tbsps Chaat Masala - available at most Indian grocery stores
• Lemon wedges to garnish

METHOD

• Mix 2 1/2 tbsps of tandoori masala with the yogurt, 2 tbsps cooking oil and salt to taste and make a smooth paste.
• Put the paneer chunks in a bowl and pour the above Tandoori paste on to it. Mix gently to coat all the paneer well. Cover and keep in the refrigerator to marinate for two hours.
• Mix the remaining 1/2 tbsp of Tandoori Masala with the onion pieces to coat them well.
• Thread the marinated paneer and onion pieces onto bamboo skewers in a combination of your choice.
• Preheat your grill on medium. Put the paneer skewers on it and brush with a little cooking oil. Grill till paneer is light golden and the onions soft. Do not overcook or the paneer will become rubbery.
• Remove onto a plate and sprinkle with Chaat Masala. Squeeze some lemon juice over the paneer skewers, garnish with lemon wedges and serve piping hot!
