Notes
- For the perfect Paneer Tikka, use thick yogurt with the whey and water drained out to keep the marinade from getting runny.
- Adding Kashmiri chili powder gives the paneer a beautiful bright red color without too much spice.
- Prepare the paneer with the marinade ahead of time, and grill it just before serving for the best results.
- To prevent the paneer from becoming too hard, soak it in warm to hot water before marinating.
- The oil in the marinade helps retain moisture, ensuring the paneer stays tender.
- For an extra zing, sprinkle Chaat masala and a squeeze of lemon just before serving for a delightful tangy kick!
