II.) MARINATION OF PANEER TIKKA :-
I haven't mentioned to cut the Paneer for Tikka. So I think you know that for Paneer Tikka, you should cut the Paneer into cubes of medium size.
Now add the Paneer cubes into the bowl in which you have prepared the marinade. Now you can add little amount of Mustard Oil around 2 Tbsp. The addition of Mustard oil plays a vital role because it helps the marinade to get stuck over the Paneer surface.
So after adding the mustard oil mix it well and make it a smooth and fine paste. Now add the Paneer, Tomato, Onions Capsicum into the marinade bowl and with the help of hand apply the paste uniformly on each of the cubes of paneer and also the other elements mentioned above.
III.) GRILLING OF PANEER TIKKA:-
The Grilling of Paneer Tikka can be done in two ways as mentioned below:-
1.) On the gas flame
2.) In the Oven
Both the methods require a key instrument and that is Skewer in which you will be putting the Paneer cubes and other things.
So put the Paneer first then place onion, Tomato and capsicum in any manner as you want and repeat the process for other skewers.
So for the gas flame place the Skewer as it is on the gas and keep it for around 2 mins and keep rotating until you get the black spots over it.
Similarly for the oven, grease the baking tray with the oil and place the Skewers in it and here also you have to remove the after a certain interval of time and rotate the skewer so as to uniformly cook the Paneer Tikka.
After the grilling part is done you can remove the Paneer Tikka from the skewer with the help of a knife and transfer it into a bowl.
After this you can serve it in a bowl along with the green coriander chutney and some onion and a piece of lemon.
And your Restaurant style Paneer Tikka is ready to be served.
