Namaskar Welcome to nishamadhulika.com
Whenever you feel like eating something special and healthy in the evening then try making Paneer Tikka.
It is a very tasty and healthy dish.
Today we will make Paneer Tikka in a pan instead of the Tandoor.
Ingredients required:
Paneer - 250 grams (cut into square pieces)
Tomatoes - 2
Capsicum - 1
Curd - 1/2 cup (which is already beaten)
Green coriander (dhaniya) - 2 tbsp (finely chopped)
Ghee/Butter - 2 tbsp
Ginger - 11/2 inch long piece or 1/2 tsp paste
Black pepper- 1/4 tsp
Salt - 3/4 tsp
Chat masala - 3/4 tsp
Jeera (cumin) powder - 1/2 tsp
Red chilly powder - less than 1/4 tsp
Lemon - 2 pieces
First we will put the spices in curd and marinate Paneer.
Pour curd in a big bowl
put black pepper and ginger in it.
Also put 1 tsp salt and mix all the ingredients properly.
Now put the Paneer pieces in this mix and keep it aside for 30 minutes so that the spices are well absorbed by the Paneer pieces.
Paneer pieces are marinated so take them out of the bowl and keep them on a plate.
Keep this plate with Paneer in the fridge for 30 minutes so that they set well before frying.
Turn on the gas and heat the pan.
Put 1/2 tbsp Ghee in the pan, after it melts put in the Paneer pieces.
We need to fry these pieces on a low flame till they turn brown on the lower
side then we will turn them over and fry till this side turns brown as well.
As Paneer pieces seem to have turned brown on the lower surface turn them over.
Till they turn brown on the other side let us cut the tomatoes and capsicum.
Cut capsicum into thin long strips and cut tomatoes into slightly thick round pieces.
cut tomatoes into slightly thick pieces.
Check Paneer
it has turned brown.
Wait until Paneer turns brown on the other side too, fry for 1-2 minutes.
Take out the Paneer pieces which are fried and have turned brown all over.
Put remaining Ghee in the pan, once Ghee melts put Jeera powder in it.
Now put capsicum and fry gently.
Cook capsicum for 1 minute with the pan's lid on to make it a bit soft.
Put tomatoes, chat masala, red chilly powder, left over salt followed by fried Paneer pieces in the pan and mix.
We have put this Paneer Tikka in a plate, garnish with some coriander leaves and 2 lemon pieces.
Paneer Tikka is ready.
You need to keep some things in mind while preparing this dish :
When you are frying the Paneer pieces do not keep a high flame as Paneer tends to get burned quickly.
We need to gently fry Paneer on a low flame till the pieces turn brown all over.
Take out Paneer pieces on a plate then gently cook capsicum strips for 1 minute.
Then we need to put tomatoes, paneer, spices and mix.
There is no need to cook these contents else the tomatoes will be mashed and Paneer Tikka will not look good.
Be a bit cautious and you will be able to prepare delicious Paneer Tikka.
