Keto Paneer Tikka Recipe

Keto Paneer Tikka Recipe

Paneer is the staple protein for most vegetarians on the Keto diet. It’s also pretty easy to make at home if you don’t have access to it, in fact, try my homemade paneer recipe. This recipe is pretty simple and will help you hit your fat macros and has almost no carbs per serving. It’s definitely something that you can whip up in a jiffy either as a snack or as your main course.

This recipe doesn’t have to be vegetarian. If you like your meat, then you can swap the paneer for some chopped chicken thigh meat or perhaps some pork leg meat or even some filet beef. Ideally, you want to use meat that cooks quickly and can be pan-fried. Avoid tough cuts like chuck roast, pork shoulder or pork belly, etc. I have a feeling this would work great with seafood as well.

Ingredients:

• 200 gm paneer

• 30 gm onion

• 1/2 tablespoon virgin olive oil

• 1/2 tablespoon coriander powder

• 1/2 tablespoon red chili powder

• 50 gm red bell pepper

• 1 tablespoon garlic paste

• 100 gm capsicum (green pepper)

• salt as required

• 120 gm plain greek yogurt

• 1/2 tablespoon powdered turmeric

• 1 tablespoon ginger paste

• 50 gm yellow bell pepper

Recipe:

• Step 1 Dice the bell peppers and cut cubes of paneer and onion

  To prepare this easy recipe, wash the bell peppers and dice them into 2-inch pieces. Also, peel and cut the onion cubes. Afterward, cut the paneer into cubes as well.

• Step 2 Prepare the marinade for the paneer

  Next, prepare the marinade for the paneer and the veggies. For the same, take a large mixing bowl and mix together Greek yogurt in it along with ginger-garlic paste and all the spices. Once done, add all the chopped veggies and paneer in it, and let them marinate for an hour in the refrigerator. Make sure you cover the bowl with the lid.

• Step 3 Arrange veggies in skewers and cook in a pan

  Finally, take out the marinated paneer and veggies from the refrigerator. Insert the veggies in skewers one by one alternately and keep them aside. Then, heat a large pan over medium flame and grease it with a little olive oil. Place the paneer tikka skewers on the pan and let them cook till the base side of the paneer is golden or slightly charred. Turn the skewers and let them cook from the remaining sides as well. Serve hot with onion rings and green chutney.
