Cooking Method
Cut paneer into one and a half inch squares of half-inch thickness. Grind ginger and garlic to a paste. Cut capsicums into one and a half inch squares.
Heat oil in a pan. Add besan and cook until it emits a fragrant aroma, remove from heat and add turmeric powder. Cool flour and transfer into a bowl.
Add ginger-garlic paste, white pepper powder, salt, lemon juice, green cardamom powder, fennel powder, saffron and fresh cream. Whisk well to make a batter.
Add paneer cubes to the batter and marinate for at least an hour.
Thread paneer cubes and caspicum squares onto skewers .
Roast in a tandoor/charcoal grill for five minutes, basting with melted butter occasionally till the tikkas are golden in colour.
Alternatively you can cook the tikkas in a convection oven or on a grill. Preheat the oven to 220C and cook for three minutes on either side, basting once with butter in between.
Remove and sprinkle with chaat masala powder and lemon juice.
