Paneer tikkaorPaneer Soola[1]orChhena Soola is an Indian dish made from chunks of paneer/ chhena marinated in spices and grilled in a tandoor.[2][3] It is a vegetarian alternative to chicken tikka and other meat dishes.[4][5][6] It is a popular dish that is widely available in India and countries with an Indian diaspora.[7][8]

Preparation[edit]

Chunks of paneer, a type of fresh cheese, are marinated in spices and are then arranged on a stick with capsicums (bell peppers), onions and tomatoes. These sticks are grilled in a tandoor and the dish is thereafter served hot, seasoned with lemon juice and chaat masala.[9] It is sometimes accompanied by saladormint chutney.[10] Tikka dishes traditionally go well with mint chutney.[11] The paneer, though tender, has a crisp singe on the surface.[12]

Variations[edit]

When paneer tikka is served with a sauce, it is called paneer tikka masala.[13] It is also served in a wrap, as paneer tikka roll, where the paneer tikka is wrapped into an Indian flatbread and served.[2][14] A variant of paneer tikka is also made as a kebab.[15]

Over the years, there have been several variations, such as Kashmiri paneer tikka, where the paneer is stuffed with chopped almonds and grilled,[16] a variety of Chinese food, paneer tikka masala chow mein,[17] and dosa stuffed with paneer tikka.[18]

International fast-food chains in India have also incorporated paneer tikka into their menus. For example, Pizza Hut and Domino's offer a paneer tikka topping on their pizzas,[19][20] whereas Subway offers a paneer tikka sandwich[21] and McDonald's has a paneer tikka wrap on its menu.[22] ITC's Bingo brand of potato chips has experimented with a paneer tikka flavour of chips.[23] Prior to that, in 2003, Nestle's Maggi experimented with a ready-to-cook variety of paneer tikka.[24] Other companies also offer spice mixes and ready-to-eat variants of paneer tikka.[25]
