Paneer tikka

Serves -2
It's my long time wish to make paneer tikka. As soon as I purchased skewerseparately I tried this tikka. Came out perfect.Do try it.

Ingredients:

• Paneer cubes -10-15 nos
• Capsicum -1( I used tri colour capsicum)
• Onion -1
• Tomato -1 (optional)
• Hung yoghurt -3 tbsp
• Red chilli powder-1 tsp
• Turmeric powder-1/4 tsp
• Pepper powder -1/2 tsp
• Chat masala -1/2 tsp
• Ginger garlic paste-1/2 tsp (optional)
• Lemon juice -1 tsp
• Oil -3 tbsp 
• Salt- To taste 

Method :

•  Mix all the spice powders, lemon juice, ginger  garlic paste and salt in hung curd to make the marination ready.
• Cut Capsicum, onion and tomato(deseeded) into cubes.
• Marinate all these along with paneer and let it refrigerate for about an hour.
• Now place them in Skewers as shown in picture.
• Apply Mustard oil/ ordinary oil on the paneer generously.
• Line the pan with silver foil and prick it so that excess water and oil from tikka escapes.
• Pre heat the oven to 180 degree and bake for about 15 to 20 mins or untill the edges of paneer  turn  brown.
• Serve with tomato sauce.

Notes:

• Hang normal curd in muslin cloth for about an hour to get hung curd.
• I used very thick curd instead of hung curd I felt no change in  taste.
• Taste the marination before coating the paneer and Capsicum.
• You can also make it on stove top. Use a dosa tawa and turn the Skewers every now and then to ensure even cooking  ( in this case paneer may stick to tawa.Be careful).
