Malai Paneer Tikka
Malai Paneer Tikka is a popular North Indian appetizer known for its rich and creamy flavor. In this dish, soft cubes of paneer (Indian cottage cheese) are marinated in a blend of thick cream (malai), yogurt, and mild spices like cardamom, white pepper, and ginger-garlic paste. The marinated paneer is then skewered and grilled or baked until it has a light golden char. The creamy marinade gives the paneer a velvety texture and delicate flavor, making it melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
Malai Paneer Tikka is typically served hot, garnished with fresh coriander, lemon wedges, and mint chutney. Its mild and creamy taste makes it a favorite among both vegetarians and non-vegetarians who enjoy Indian cuisine.
