About Paneer Multani Tikka
Paneer multani tikka takes its name from Multan, the old city now in Pakistan whose cooking favours rich, nut-thickened marinades and skips the heavy red chilli of standard Punjabi tikka. It is a pale, mellow version of grilled paneer, closer in spirit to the malai style but distinguished by its use of ground nuts rather than cream as the main source of richness.
Our paneer is fresh and cut for each order, so the cubes stay soft rather than rubbery. For this version the marinade is hung yogurt enriched with ground cashew and almond and seasoned with white pepper, deliberately built without red chilli. The spices are ground fresh daily in our kitchen. We cook the skewers in a charcoal tandoor running at about 480 °C; the nut paste forms a soft coating that browns lightly and picks up a little smoke without charring hard.
The flavour is mild, creamy and gently nutty, with the almond and cashew giving a soft, slightly sweet roundness and the white pepper adding a quiet warmth rather than any chilli bite. It is paler and richer than the standard tikka, with a smooth coating instead of a dark char. Because it carries no red chilli, it suits diners who want a tandoor dish without heat.
It is served hot with our mint yogurt dip and a fresh salad on the side. Do let us know of any nut allergy, since the marinade is built on cashew and almond. The kitchen is halal-friendly with no pork. It pairs well with a soft naan or a mild gravy dish.
The dining room seats 30-40 across two styles — standard tables and Dastarkhan-style floor seating. Quiet in the early evening, busy from 8 PM.
Everything off the same charcoal oven is gathered on our tandoori page, and why we kept charcoal instead of gas explains what that fight was about. It sits in our Veg Starters menu, and regulars often order it alongside Paneer Butter Masala.
