Step By Step Guide

Make The Marinade

First, take a medium size bowl. Add cashew paste, fresh cream, salt, ginger-garlic paste, curd, garam masala, gram flour, lemon juice, white pepper, and vegetable oil. Whisk until they are well combined.

Make The Paneer Ready For Marination

In the next step, you have to mix the paneer cubes in the marinade. Make sure they are well coated. Now cover and set it aside for at least 1 hour (leave overnight for best flavour).

Preheat The Oven Or Skewers

Now you have to preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). You can also use a non-stick pan or tandoor.

Thread The Paneer And Assemble

Let’s move on to the next step. You can thread or insert the paneer cubes on the skewers.

Cook The Tikka Until Golden And Velvety

Grill/bake the tikka for about 12–15 minutes or until the edges become charred. Flip halfway to cook both sides. If you want to cook on a pan, then take a non-stick pan or tawa and cook on a medium-low flame until the paneer turns golden brown and a bit crispy.

Garnish And Serve

Once you are done with the above steps, garnish the paneer tikka with chaat masala and serve with onion rings and mint chutney.
