Lets marinate.. Paneer Tikka..

 

The meat-lovers have their chicken kebab, roasted chicken and what not, the wine lovers have their roasted papad and peanuts. What do we herbivores have??? Tell me. Yeeaahhh!!!! We have our very own favourite, the ubiquitous Paneer Tikka. People can’t seem to get their hands off freshly cut perfect cube sized paneer or as the more audacious would call it ‘cottage cheese’. These babies are marinated, grilled and served with green mint pudina chutney. Paneer Tikka is that handsome dude around which the whole party revolves.

So, here you have the perfect Panner tikka recipe.. Try it and enjoy.. :)

Serving: 4 servings

Ingredients:

1. 1 cup hung Curd (curd should be set, don't make it extremely thick else it will not coat and marinate properly): either hung curd in a cloth for 10 mins at home or milky mist set curd is good.

3. 1 tsp jeera powder
