To make this dry paneer recipe, take a large bowl and pour the curd into it. Add in the spices mentioned – turmeric, chili powder, cumin powder, garam masala, and ginger-garlic paste Mix well.

Add gram flour, lemon juice, and salt to this mixture and combine them well with the curd.

Now put in the onion petals, capsicum cubes, and the paneer cubes to the mixture.

Add a tsp of oil.

Mix gently so that the onions, capsicum, and the paneer cubes get coated well with curd mixture.

Cover the bowl and let it marinate well for about 45 minutes. You could also refrigerate it if you would like to.

Take out the bowl and pin the vegetables and the paneer cubes into the wooden skewers. This can be grilled in an oven or tawa. The tawa method is explained here.

Heat the tawa and spread 2 tsp of oil over it.

Place the skewers over the tawa and roast them all in a medium flame.

Spread 1 tsp of oil over the tikka.

Roast them on all sides and ensure not to burn them. Keep rotating the skewers over the tawa so that the tikka gets roasted on all sides.

Serve the paneer tikka immediately, else it doesn’t taste great.
