Paneer Tikka is a North Indian appetizer where chunks of paneer are marinated in yogurt and spices and then grilled in tandoor (Clay oven). This recipe is for Afghan Paneer Tikka and is from the kitchen of mughals, known for their culinary skills. Instead of a clay oven, I grilled paneer/ vegetables in a pan. Alternatively, an electric/ gas oven can be used.
Use fresh paneer and serve it hot with green chutney and lemon.
