Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: Kebabs N Rolls, Paneer Dishes

This Paneer Tikka Wraps are very quick to make and very tasty to...Till now to who ever i have served this wraps they have just loved them a lot and have asked for more...:-) So i am posting their recipe here.

INGREDIENTS :

For Paneer Tikka :

200 grams fresh paneer cut into 1" cubes
2 capsicum s cut into 1" squares
2 big onions

Marinade For Tikka :

1/2 cup thick curd
2 tea spoon besan
1/2 tea spoon amchur powder
2 tea spoon tandoori masala
1/2 tea spoon garam masala
1 tea spoon ginger-garlic paste
1/2 tea spoon chili powder
1/2 tea spoon jeera powder
1/2 tea spoon chat masala
2 table spoons of chopped coriander
1/2 tea spoon sugar
salt

For Salad :

1 cup shredded cabbage
1/2 cup shredded carrot
2 table spoons of chopped corainder
1/2 cup shredded capsicum
salt
chat masala

Other Ingredients :

4 wheat flour rotis cooked
3 table spoons low fat eggless mayonnaise
1/2 cup green chutney (Grind to fine paste pudina 1/2 cup, coriander 1 cup, 2-3 green chilis ,tamarind pulp 1 tsp,garlic 4 pods,ginger 1/2",fresh coconut 1 tbsp,chat masala,sugar n salt with little water)
oil

METHOD:

Mix all the ingredients listed under marinade. Cut the onion into 4 quarters and then separate each layer.Now take a big bowl and add the paneer cubes,chopped capsicum & onion. add the prepared marinade over them and mix it properly with the paneer n veges. Keep aside for 15 mins.

Take satay sticks or skewers and prick one piece of capsicum, then one paneer cube then one onion pieces and so on. Continue this pattern till the end of stick. Similarly prepare such tikka sticks.

Now heat a flat griddle and sprinkle 2 tea spoons of oil all over it. Put each satay stick over it and sprinkle little oil over them and keep on turning them after 1-2 mins. After 4-5 mins when they are almost done take each satay stick and hold it over naked flame and keep on turning and roasting it till little black patches appear on the onion, paneer and capsicum.This gives the paneer tikka the perfect tandoori flavor. When the tikkas are done remove them from fire and keep aside.

Mix all the veges listed under salad in a bowl and sprinkle little salt and chat masala over them. Take a roti and spread the green chutney all over it on one side. Then above it spread 2 tea spoons of mayonnaise .Sprinkle the shredded veges salad all over it. Then place one paneer tikka stick over it and carefully separate the stick from the panner cubes and let the paneer cubes be in a line over the roti. Carefully roll the wrap and prick with a toothpick.

Serve immediately.

Preparation Time : 15 mins

NOTE : You can even shallow fry the wrap in butter after its done if u like it more crispy.
Instead of wheat flour roti you can also use maida roti. I have used a healthy option here.

Achari Paneer Tikka...!!!

Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: Kebabs N Rolls, Paneer Dishes, Starters

I am a big fan of tikkas and kebabs and trying them with different flavours is a very interesting task.So i made this "Achari Paneer Tikka" recently by using achar masala(Pickle spice powder) and some regular ingredients.Pickle is a must with food in many regions of India , so why not use it to make some other tasty dishes.This is a very quick,easy and tasty starter.I added whatever spices i found to make it more spicy but it will get its main taste from the achar/pickle spice powder.You can use any achar/pickle powder for it.I have used a homemade pickle spice powder, but if you do not have homemade achar/pickle powder you can even use readymade pickle spice powder as its very easily available in stores.

INGREDIENTS:

250 grams paneer (cottage cheese)
2 capsicum
2 tomatoes
1 cup yogurt
1 table spoon of homemade/readymade achar masala(Pickle spice powder)
1 tea spoon chilli powder(optional)
1/2 tea spoon turmeric powder
1 tea spoon amchur powder(dry mango powder)
1 tea spoon cumin powder
1/2 tea spoon chat masala
1/2 teaspoon sugar
salt
oil

METHOD:

Put the yogurt in a muslin cloth and tie a knot.Hung it for 1 hour so that all the water drips down from it.Cut the paneer intoone inch cubes.Similarly cut capsicum and tomatoes in one inch square pieces.

Take the hung yogurt in a bowl.Add chilli powder, turmeric powder,cumin powder,amchur powder, chat masala and achar/pickle spice powder,sugar and salt to it.Mix it well so that the spices get distributed evenly.Add the amount of spices according to your taste.Add 2 tea spoon oil also and mix.Marinade is ready.

Now take the paneer cubes and chopped tomato and capsicum pieces in a big bowl.Add the marinade mixture to it ans mix it well..Apply the marinade gently to the paneer cubes or else they tend to break.

Take some satay/skewer sticks.Take one stick and thread alternate layers of marinated capsicum, paneer cube and tomato.Repeat it with the other sticks.

Heat a tawa/griddle with little oil or a stone griller or tandoor and grill it for 2-3 mins on each side till done.

Serve hot.

Preparation Time: 20 mins
