A vegetarian delight featuring fresh cottage cheese cubes marinated in a blend of yogurt, spices, and herbs, then grilled to perfection in the tandoor. The paneer develops a beautiful char while remaining soft and creamy inside. Served with bell peppers and onions, this dish is perfect for vegetarians seeking authentic Indian flavors.

Paneer Tikka is one of the most popular vegetarian appetizers in Indian cuisine, and our version showcases the magic of tandoor cooking. We use fresh, high-quality paneer (Indian cottage cheese) cut into generous cubes and marinated for several hours in a mixture of hung yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and a blend of spices including garam masala, cumin, coriander, and kashmiri red chili powder. The yogurt-based marinade not only infuses the paneer with incredible flavor but also helps it develop that characteristic tandoori char.
The paneer cubes are threaded onto skewers along with chunks of bell peppers, onions, and sometimes tomatoes, then cooked in our traditional clay tandoor oven at high temperatures. This cooking method creates a slightly crispy, charred exterior while the inside remains soft and creamy. The vegetables caramelize beautifully, adding sweetness and texture to each bite. Served on a sizzling platter with mint chutney and lemon wedges, our Paneer Tikka is a perfect starter that showcases the best of tandoor cooking for vegetarians.
