Take ½ cup (125 ml) of curd in a clean mixing bowl.

Add ½ tsp of black pepper powder, ½ tsp of garam masala powder, ½ tsp of cumin powder, ½ tsp of coriander powder, ½ tsp of turmeric powder, and 1 tsp of Kashmiri chili powder to it.

Follow it with 3 tsp of besan (gram flour), ½ tsp of chaat masala, salt to taste, 1 tbsp of kasuri methi (dry fenugreek leaves), and 2 tsp of mustard oil.

Mix everything nicely.

Add 200 grams of paneer or cottage cheese (cut in cubes).

Mix them nicely.

Then add a few cubes of green and red capsicum to it. (Pro tip: You can also add cubes of onions if you want. I am not using it as I am making completely veg paneer tikka).

Mix all of them nicely as well. Keep the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes to set properly.

After half an hour, take the bowl out of the fridge. Insert a capsicum cube, a couple of paneer cubes, then a capsicum and two paneer cubes again, and lastly another capsicum cube in a skewer.

Now heat a grilling pan and put 1 tbsp of cooking oil. Brush it nicely all over the surface. (Pro tip: If you do not have a grilling pan at home, you can use a regular tawa and follow the same process).

Place the skewers one by one on the frying pan.

Flip them frequently and fry nicely from all sides for about 5 minutes on a medium to low flame.

Your homemade delicious paneer tikka is now ready to serve.
