Paneer tikka is a north Indian snack or starter which is very popular and available almost  in every resturant.

METHOD OF PREPARATION ::

Take all purpose flour, salt and mix a little. Add oil and mix with fingertips.

Gradually add milk and knead into a soft dough.the dough should be a little stiff and not too soft .

Cover it and rest it for ½ an hour.

de-seed the capsicum and tomato, cut them into squared.

Also cut the onions into squared.

Take curd and all the masalas in a bowl, whip it well .

Add cubed paneer , capsicum , tomatoes and onion. Mix well with hands.

Rest it in refrigerator at least for an hour.

After the resting time is over take out dough and make equal dumplings from it and roll in a floured surface .

Make roties as thin as possible.

Heat a tawa or dosa tawa,cook the thin roties till they are 3/4^th cook.cook on high flame ans wait till the brown spots to appear,then  turn it and cook the other side too.

Don’t cook the roties completely ,otherwise they will turn tough and dry.

We will cook the roties after rolling so don’t panic.

 

• Now be ready to prepare tikka.

Tikkas can be cooked in tandoor but I prefer to cook them in gas flame.

So heat a non stick tawa/ pan, drizzle oil all over.

Assmble the paneer, capsicum, tomatoes and onion in a skewer or toothpick.

First tomatoes, onion, then paneer, then capsicum, or whatever order you prefer, it does not matter.

Now place the sticks on the hot oil and cover it, wait for 1 minute when one side turns light brownish in colour.

Turn it and cook the other side.

When all sides are done, remove it from tawa and keep aside.

Repeat these steps with remaining tikkas.

• Assembling the tikka ::

I am going to share two methods of assembling.

When you are ready to serve , slightly reheat the chapaties on high flame for few seconds, place on a plate, then place one stick of paneer tikka in the center, add few laccha onion and roll tightly.

Place a toothpick in the center so that the rolls willl not open while serving.

Otherwise, reheat the roties on high flame for few seconds, place them on a plate, apply green chutney, then sprinkle some lacha onion, place one stick of tikka in the center.

Fold the bottom part of the roti and roll the sides, fold tightly .

You can wrap a aluminum foil/tissue paper/butter paper on the roll and serve it.
