Steps

30 minutes

1

To begin, cube the paneer into desired tikka size. Dice the onion, tomato, and capsicum to match the size of the paneer cubes.
2

Prepare the green chutney by blending together coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chillies, and lemon juice. Keep aside.
3

For the marinade, in a large bowl, mix together curd, ginger garlic paste, black salt (kala namak), turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, crushed ajwain, besan, garam masala, and crushed kasoori methi.
4

Next, add in the green chutney you prepared earlier. Mix well.
5

Heat the mustard oil to the smoking point and add it to the marinade. Mix well.
6

Add in the vegetables to the marinade first. Mix well. Next, add in the paneer pieces and mix until well-coated. If you add in the paneer pieces first, they may crumble. Leave aside for at least 30 minutes.
7

To assemble, thread the tikkas on a skewer alternating between the paneer cubes and the vegetables.
8

Grease the grill pan well with oil. Place the skewers and grill on all four sides until they colorize. Baste with a bit of oil for added flavor.
9

The Haryali Paneer Tikkas are ready to serve. Sprinkle a bit of chat masala on top and serve with mint chutney, onions, and lemon.
