Paneer Tikka is a classic North Indian dish where cubes of paneer (Indian cottage cheese) are marinated typically in yogurt and a blend of spices such as turmeric, chili powder, and garam masala, then grilled or cooked in a tandoor or oven. Sometimes vegetables like capsicum, onion, and tomato are also included on skewers. It is commonly served as a flavorful appetizer or snack, enjoyed for its smoky aroma and spicy taste.
This dish provides a balance of protein from the paneer, moderate fat due to the cheese and cooking oil, and carbohydrates primarily from vegetables and marinade ingredients. It is vegetarian and does not contain meat, eggs, or fish.
It fits well into snacks or evening meals and can form part of a balanced diet when consumed with other foods.
