  • After 1 hour, take out the marinated paneer from refrigerator. Take a skewer and make a pattern with paneer and capsicum. Also it is good to start with vegetable and end with vegetable in a skewer so that the paneer would cook nicely in grill. So start with capsicum and alternate with paneer. Prepare the skewers and keep it ready for cooking

Notes

  1. Make sure the paneer is firm not crumbly
  2. The curd should be thick so we need to hung the curd to get rid of all moisture 
  3. We can sprinkle a few drops of Lemon Juice and some Chaat Masala on the tikka before serving. Serve it hot along with Mint Chutney
