Paneer Tikka

Marinated cottage cheese grilled in a tandoor — thick cubes of firm paneer marinated in yogurt, red chilli, turmeric, chaat masala, and mustard oil, skewered with capsicum and onion, and roasted in the tandoor until lightly charred and smoky. The exterior dries and caramelises while the inside stays soft and milky. The definitive vegetarian starter of North Indian restaurants. Eaten hot off the skewer with hari chutney.
