Panner tikka recipe | how to make panner tikka at home step by step recipe. Paneer tikka is a well-known vegetarian tikka dish. The term "tikka" primarily refers to anything that has been marinated before being baked, grilled, or fried. Similar to the dish served in restaurants, this delicious handmade version really, in my opinion, tastes better!
The yoghurt (curd) and Indian spice powders combine to create a delicious marinade that the spongy paneer cubes absorb. The paneer becomes slightly crunchier after being grilled on the skewers.
