Things to know before we start with paneer tikka recipes-
- Choose fresh paneer. It will ensure that Tikka’s are soft.
- If you are using paneer that is refrigerated for long then simply place the paneer in some warm water(not hot water) until you are ready to use it.
- Using vegetables are optional but they are my fav part about tikka.
- Feel free to leave out any vegetable you don’t have.
- The way you cut paneer, onion, capsicum and tomato are important. Each should be almost equal in size.
- I prefer cutting huge cubes of paneer because they are easier to skewer and grill and will most likely not break while handling.
- Ensure that the vegetables size match the size of paneer. When chopping tomato remove the seed and pulp.
