Paneer cubes 250 gms Coriander leaves 1/4 cup Mint leaves 1/4 cup Palak 5 leaves (optional) Besan | gram flour 2 tsp Onion 1 Green chili 1 Thick yogurt 2 tblsp Garlic 3 pods Kasoori methi 1 tsp Garam masala 1/2 tsp Oil 2 tblsp Chaat masala a pinch Capsicum | bell pepper few cubes Salt as needed
Cut the paneer ,onion and capsicum into cubes. Half onion will be enough for this.
In a pan add oil and the green chili, kasoori methi, garlic pods, remaining onion and saute till the onion turns nice brown colour. Keep the flame into very small and add the coriander leaves and mint leaves. If adding palak add that too.
Add the besan and garam masala too.
Allow this to cool and grind this into a smooth paste . While griding add the yogurt and salt to this. Add this ground paste to the paneer cubes.
Marinate this for 30 minutes to 1 hour. I didn’t marinate as i started very late and wanted to finish clicking before kids come back from school. Before making add the capsicum and cubed onion. In a non stick pan or tawa sprinkle few drops of oil and place the paneer cubes and capsicums and onions . Do not crowd the pan.
Cook on both sides till golden brown. Always ensure the flame is low. Else the paneer will get burnt fast. Wash the skewers and arrange the paneer on the sticks. While serving sprinkle a dash of chaat masala. This will enhance the taste of the paneer tikka.
