Paneer tikka
Ingredients
- 100g/3½oz spinach leaves
- 40g/1½oz coriander leaves
- 180g/6oz Greek yoghurt
- 2 green bird’s-eye chillies
- 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- 2.5cm/1in piece fresh root ginger, roughly chopped
- salt, to taste
- 375g/13oz paneer, cut into 3cm/1in cubes
- 1 red pepper, cut into 3cm/1in cubes
- butter, for basting
- 1 tsp garam masala
- chaat masala (or lemon juice), to garnish
Instructions
- Blend the spinach, coriander, yoghurt, green chillies, garlic and ginger to make a smooth marinade. Season to taste, then add to a bowl along with the paneer cubes and peppers. Marinate for at least 20 minutes, but ideally a couple of hours.
- Preheat your grill to medium and place a wire rack over a baking tray. Skewer the marinated paneer and peppers to make kebabs, then place on the wire rack and grill for 3–4 minutes. As the paneer starts to colour, keep turning the skewers and basting with butter. Grill for another 4 minutes until golden all over.
- Sprinkle the paneer tikka kebabs with garam masala and chaat masala (or lemon juice) and serve immediately.
