Paneer Tikka is one of my family’s favorite starter. Paneer has a fairly high level of fat and proteins due to which it has a great value in diet. It also contains calcium and phosphorus.

Ingredients:

• 250 gms Paneer
• 200 ltr Curd
• 1 Capsicum
• 1 tsp Chilli Powder
• 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
• 1 tsp Ginger Garlic Paste
• 1/2 tsp Cumin Powder
• 1/2 tsp Coriander powder
• 1/2 tsp Pepper powder
• 1/4 tsp Garam Masala
• 1/2 a Lemon
• 1 tsp Kasoori Methi
• 2 tsp Besan
• 2tsp Oil
• Salt to taste

Method:

1. Cut Paneer into thin, big, and Square pieces. Cut Capsicum into square pieces.
2. Take Curd in a bowl. Add Chilli Powder, Turmeric Powder, Ginger Garlic Paste, Cumin Powder, Coriander powder, Pepper powder, Garam Masala, Kasoori Methi, Oil, Salt and Lemon juice. Mix it Well.
   
3. Add Besan to the mixture and mix it well so that no lumps are formed.
   
4. Add Paneer and Capsicum pieces into the curd mixture and mix it well so that each piece is well marinated. Place marinated Paneer and Capsicum in refrigerator for 2 hrs.
   
5. Now shallow fry Paneer and Capsicum pieces on grill pan with little oil or butter. I have used oil. The tawa should not be very hot. Shallow fry on low flame.
6. Yummy Panner Tikka is ready! Serve it hot.
   

Note: You can use onion and tomato pieces also along with capsicum. My family members do not like tomato and onion that much so have just added Capsicum.
