Paneer tikka is a popular Indian appetizer of marinated paneer (Indian cheese) cubes, often with vegetables like bell peppers and onions, grilled until charred and smoky. The marinade typically includes yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and spices like cumin, coriander, and chili powder, giving it a tangy and spicy flavor. It's traditionally cooked in a tandoor (clay oven) but can be made in an oven, grill, or pan, and is often served with mint chutney or as a main dish in a creamy curry called paneer tikka masala.
