This version of Paneer Tikka Grilled Cottage cheese is very fast and easy to make in oven. We have tried different Paneer Tikkas at almost every Indian restaurant in KL, but nothing is more satisfactory then eating your own home made Tikkas.
I used homemade Paneer, you can also read my article how to make paneer at home

So here is my simple and quick recipe of Paneer tikaa.
Stovetop Paneer Tikka | Grilled Cottage cheese
Ingredients
- 250 gm Paneer cubes
- 1/2 Cup curd
- 1 Teaspoon Paneer tikka Masala or garam masala You can also add Red chilli powder if both are not available
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 onion
- 1 Capsicum optional
Instructions
- Cut onion and Capsicum into big pieces. Similar to size of paneer cubes.
- Mix the curd, Masala and butter separately in a bowl and make a smooth paste.
- Add the Paneer cubes in the paste. Mix it lightly so that you don't break the paneer.
- Cover it with plastic wrape and let it sit in the refrigerator for an hour.
- Take the skewers and arrange paneer, onion, capsicum in order.
- Heat the pan. Brush it with butter and place all the skewers.
- Grill it from all the sides evenly. until it is golden brown.
- serve hot with mint chutney or any other chutney / sauce of your choice
Notes
- You can follow the same recipe, and grill the paneer in the oven for 20 minutes at 220 C temperature
- I sometimes add green chillies as well in the tikka masala to infuse spicy flavour in the paneer.
