Serving Size: 4

Get Started With:

• 250 g paneer, cut into cubes
• 1 cup thick yoghurt (curd)
• 1 tbsp gram flour (besan), lightly roasted
• 1/2 tsp Nuvi Spicez’ Turmeric Powder
• 1 tsp Nuvi Spicez’ Perfect Spicy-Perfect Colour Red Chilli Powder
• 1 tsp Nuvi Spicez’ Coriander Powder
• 1 tsp Nuvi Spicez’ Chaat Masala (for marination)
• 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• 1 tsp mustard oil
• 1/2 lemon, squeezed
• Salt to taste
• 1 onion, 1 capsicum and 1 tomato, cut into squares
• 1 tsp Nuvi Spicez’ Chaat Masala (for garnish)
• Skewers

Suggested Recipe:

1. Prep the Paneer and Veggies:

Cut paneer, onion, capsicum and tomato into uniform pieces. Set aside while you prepare the marination.

2. Marination Magic:

In a bowl, whisk together yoghurt, roasted gram flour, Nuvi’s Turmeric Powder, Red Chilli Powder, Coriander Powder and Chaat Masala. Add ginger-garlic paste, mustard oil, lemon juice, and salt. Mix into a smooth paste.

3. Coat and Rest:

Add paneer and veggies to the marinade, ensuring every piece is well coated. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour for the flavours to meld beautifully.

4. Skewer and Grill:

Thread the marinated paneer and veggies alternately onto skewers. Heat a grill pan or tandoor, brush with oil, and cook the skewers on medium heat, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and smoky.

5. Garnish with a Zing:

Sprinkle Nuvi’s Chaat Masala over the grilled tikka for a tangy finish. Serve hot with mint chutney and lemon wedges.

Enjoy your meal!
