About Paneer tikka

Paneer Tikka is a popular dish from Indian cuisine, known for its vibrant flavors and tantalizing aroma. It features paneer, a firm Indian cottage cheese, marinated in a blend of yogurt and spices like turmeric, cumin, and chili powder, then grilled or baked until lightly charred. Often skewered with colorful vegetables such as bell peppers and onions, Paneer Tikka is a rich source of protein and calcium, making it a wholesome choice for vegetarians. The spices in the marinade also offer anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. However, it can be calorie-dense due to the cheese and the oil or butter often used during preparation. Opting for low-fat paneer and moderating oil usage can improve its nutritional profile. Served as an appetizer or main dish, Paneer Tikka is a delectable way to enjoy a taste of India's culinary heritage while incorporating healthy ingredients.
