🇮🇳 India recipe

Paneer Tikka

Paneer tikka is the vegetarian counterpart to the iconic chicken tikka, and it holds its own as one of India's most popular appetizers. Cubes of fresh paneer cheese are marinated in a tangy, spiced yogurt mixture and grilled or roasted at high heat until the edges char and caramelize, creating a smoky, creamy, and deeply satisfying dish.
