Mint Paneer Tikka Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp

Mint Paneer Tikka is a flavorful and aromatic Indian appetizer made with paneer (Indian cottage cheese) marinated in a mint and yogurt-based marinade. The mint adds a refreshing taste to the dish, while the yogurt tenderizes the paneer, making it soft and succulent. The paneer is then grilled or baked until it is golden and slightly charred, giving it a smoky flavor. This dish is perfect for parties or as a starter for a meal.
