Paneer Ajwaini Tikka Recipe

Paneer Ajwaini tikka is an Indian dish made from chunks of paneer marinated in spices and grilled in a tandoor. It is a vegetarian alternative to chicken tikka and other meat dishes. It is a popular dish that is widely available in India and countries with an Indian diaspora.

Paneer tikka is one of the most popular and most ordered vegetarian Indian starter/appetizer all around the world. It is basically cooked in a tandoor, but you can broil/grill these tikkas in the oven or even fry it on the stovetop. It can also be cooked over a bbq, which adds a lovely smoky flavor to the tikkas.

This beautifully flavored paneer literally melts in the mouth when cooked perfectly. But be careful, overcooking these can make the paneer chewy and tough.
