Paneer Tikka Recipe
Ingredients:
½ kilogram of Paneer Cheese (cubed - about 3 cm/1 ½" each)
1 Lemon (Nimbu) (quartered)
1 Onion (sliced into rings - for garnish)
1 tsp. Chaat Masala Powder
2 tsp. Tandoori Masala
1 tsp. Black Pepper (Pisi Kaali Mirch) (powdered)
Salt (to taste)
2 tsp. Garlic Paste (Pisa Lehsan)
2 tsp. Ginger Paste (Pisi Adrak)
A few drops of Red Food Color
1 cup or 200 grams of Plain Yogurt
Cooking Oil (for brushing)
Directions:
Mix all of the ingredients together, (except the garnish ingredients.) Set aside for 30 minutes.
About 20 minutes before serving, place the paneer cheese on a drip pan and bake in a 350 degree pre-heated oven for about 10 minutes.
Remove from oven, brush with oil and bake for another 10 minutes.
Alternatively, you can grill on a griller or a barbecue pit. (The drippings should definitely have a means of escape, or else the paneer will get soggy.)
Serve hot, garnished with lemon and onion rings.
