Ingredients Required For Preparing Paneer Tikka

• 1/2 kg paneer cubes, about 3 cm/1.5″ each
• 2 tsp garlic paste
• 2 tsp ginger paste
• 1 tsp chaat masala
• 2 tsp chilli powder
• tandoori masala
• 1 tsp powdered black pepper
• 1 tbsp salt
• a few drops of red colour
• 3 tbsp vinegar OR 1 cup yogurt
• oil for brushing
• 1 lemon quartered
• 1 onion sliced into rings – for garnish

Method For Preparing Paneer Tikka

1. Mix all the ingredients, except the garnishes, and leave for 20-30 minutes.
2. About 20 minutes before serving, place the paneer on a drip pan and bake in the pre-heated oven for about 10 minutes.
3. Remove from oven, brush with oil and bake again for 10 minutes.
4. 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.)
5. Serve hot, garnished with lemon and onion rings.
