Tandoori paneer recipe| Tandoori Paneer Tikka preparation with step by step photos and a quick video. Paneer tikka is an Indian appetizer where paneer chunks marinated in spiced yogurt along with diced onions and capsicum. The Indian spice powders mixed with the yogurt(curd) make a flavourful marinade that is soaked up by the cottage cheese cubes. Traditionally paneer tikka was made in clay ovens. I have cooked on a Tawa on a medium flame until cooked from all the sides. To get a smoky flavor, I have used charcoal. This makes you feel that the recipe is made in a clay oven.
