Paneer Tikka Kebabs

Here's my recipe for Tandoori Tikka Kebabs which not only vegetarians enjoy, but also makes non-vegetarians forget their chicken tikka for a while. This can be made from a variety of ingredients like paneer, cauliflower, mushrooms, bell peppers, etc besides several others. These kebabs make for great starters with drinks!

Ingredients

200 gms paneer

Red, green and yellow bell peppers

Onions

Mushrooms (optional)

Ingredients for the marinade

1/2 cup hung yogurt

4-5 cloves of garlic

1" piece ginger

2-3 green chillis

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp red chilli powder

1/2 tsp garam masala

1 tb.sp kasuri methi

1/2 tsp cumin powder

1/2 tsp coriander powder

juice of 1 lime(about 1 tb.sp.)

orange-red food color(optional)

1/2 tsp salt or to taste

Procedure

Blend all the ingredients in a mixer on high speed to get a smooth paste. Marinate the paneer, bell peppers, onions and mushrooms in this mixture and then skewer them. Cook them in an oven or in a non stick pan or a grill. 

If you're using a non-stick pan, put 2 tbsps of ghee/butter before you cook. Cover and cook for 3-4 mins, remove on a plate, sprinkle with chaat masala, chopped coriander and serve. Bon Apetit!!!
