Smoky, charred at the edges, and irresistibly spiced — paneer tikka is the vegetarian showstopper. Jagota's Spice Co. Grill Masala does all the heavy lifting in the marinade, delivering that tandoor flavour straight from your kitchen grill or oven.
Why Jagota's Spice Co. Grill Masala? The Smoky Blend's smoked paprika and ajwain base was built specifically for high-heat cooking - it doesn't burn bitter at grill temperatures the way many spice blends do.
Ingredients
- 500g paneer, cut into 3cm cubes
- 1 each red, green, yellow capsicum (bell pepper), chunked
- 1 large red onion, chunked
- 1 cup thick yoghurt
- 2 tbsp Jagota's Spice Co. Grill Masala
- 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt
- To serve mint chutney & lemon wedges
Method
Add paneer, capsicum, and onion. Toss gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight is best).
Thread marinated paneer, capsicum, and onion alternately onto skewers.
Grill on a hot barbecue or oven grill at 220°C for 10–12 minutes, turning halfway, until charred at edges.
Brush with melted butter in the final 2 minutes for a glossy, smoky finish.
Serve immediately with mint chutney and lemon wedges.
