Peri Peri Paneer Tikka
A delicious twist on a classic Indian appetizer using my homemade Peri Peri sauce.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup Peri Peri sauce plus extra for brushing refer to my homemade sauce recipe
- 8-10 oz paneer cut into 2 inch squares
- 1/2 green bell pepper chopped in cubes
- 1/2 red bell pepper chopped in cubes
- 1/2 red onion chopped in cubes
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- oil or cooking spray for grilling
- cilantro for garnish optional
Instructions
- Add the Peri Peri sauce in a bowl with the cubed paneer, peppers, and onions and let marinate in refrigerator for at least 1 hour up to 24 hours
- Heat some oil or cooking spray on a grill pan on medium heat until hot
- Carefully lay the paneer and peppers on the pan with a little bit of space between each piece so it's easy to flip
- Grill for 3-4 minutes per side or until paneer is soft and charred, flipping every minute or two to ensure you get all the sides
- As you are grilling the paneer, begin to brush more Peri Peri sauce on it so that it can really absorb the flavor as it's cooking. This will also help give it a nice color
- For an extra char, you can add the cooked paneer to a skewer and hold over a gas flame
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with a side of lemon!
Notes
- You can use my homemade Peri Peri sauce recipe for this dish
- I used Gopi brand of paneer for this but you can use any
- If using frozen paneer, make sure to let it thaw fully
