Method:
- Heat a pan and add butter and when the butter melts, add the carom seeds and gram flour and saute the gram flour till it gives a nice aroma and becomes brown color.
- Take a mixing bowl, add the roasted gram flour to the mixing bowl, add curd, fennel seeds, red chillie powder, garam masala powder, crushed kasoori methi, salt, ginger-garlic paste and give a good mix. Heat up 2 tablespoon of oil and add turmeric powder and mix well and add this to the mixing bowl and give a good mix
- Add paneer, chopped cpasicum, red and green, cubed onions, and mix well so that all of them are nicely coated
- Finally add a teaspoon of lemon juice and mix well. Keep this aside for atleast 2 hours or even overnight. The more you keep the marinated mixture, the more the flavours gets nicely incorporated with the paneer and veggies.
- Soak the skewers in warm water for 10-15 minutes. This is just to make sure the skewers doesn't get burnt when we keep them in oven or tawa. If you are using a metal skewer, then you can ignore this step
- After 2 hours, take a skewer, insert a marinated paneer followed by onion, green capsicum and red capsicum. Repeat this pattern one more time in the same skewer. Prepare the rest of skewers in the same way. Â
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan, place 2-3 skewers in a pan. Pour some oil on top of the each skewer and allow them to cook nicely in all sides. Flip the skewer on all sides so that all the sides are evenly cooked. You can see the paneer and veggies are nicely cooked and they become crispy. The gram flour and hot oil, give a nice crunchy taste to the paneer and veggies.
- Remove the skewers from the pan and add the next batch
- Serve the yummy and crispy Paneer Tikka with green chutney. We can also use these Paneer Tikkas and make delicious Paneer Tikka Masala
