Paneer tikka

Paneer tikka or Paneer Soola or Chhena Soola is an Indian dish made from chunks of paneer/ chhena marinated in spices and grilled in a tandoor. It is a vegetarian alternative to chicken tikka and other meat dishes. It is a popular dish that is widely available in India and countries with an Indian diaspora. Chunks of paneer, a type of fresh cheese, are marinated in spices and are then arranged on a stick with capsicums , onions and tomatoes. These sticks are grilled in a tandoor and the dish is thereafter served hot, seasoned with lemon juice and chaat masala. It is sometimes accompanied by salad or mint chutney. Tikka dishes traditionally go well with mint chutney. The paneer, though tender, has a crisp singe on the surface. When paneer tikka is served with a sauce, it is called paneer tikka masala. It is also served in a wrap, as paneer tikka roll, where the paneer tikka is wrapped into an Indian flatbread and served. A variant of paneer tikka is also made as a kebab.
