About Paneer Pahadi Tikka
Paneer pahadi tikka comes from the pahad, the hills of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, where cooks lean on fresh green herbs rather than the dried red spices and yogurt of the plains. Our head chef Santosh Shah is from Uttarakhand, so this is a dish close to home: a green-marinated paneer that is brighter and lighter than the standard Punjabi tikka. Although it shares the green look of the pudina version, the pahadi style is its own preparation.
The paneer is fresh and cut for the order. The marinade is a paste of fresh coriander and mint with green chilli, ginger and garlic, made without red chilli and traditionally without yogurt, in the true hill style. We grind everything fresh daily and cook the skewers fast in a charcoal tandoor at about 480 °C, adding the herbs raw and cooking quickly so the green stays vivid.
The taste is clean and herb-forward, dominated by coriander and mint with the heat coming from fresh green chillies rather than dried red pepper, which keeps it at a medium level. Without yogurt or cream the coating is lighter than other tikkas, letting the smoke from the charcoal and the freshness of the herbs come through clearly. The green colour is natural, from the herbs alone.
It is served hot off the tandoor with mint chutney on the side. The kitchen is halal-friendly with no pork. It makes a fresh, light starter and pairs well with a plain naan or as a green counterpoint to a richer, creamier main course.
Two minutes walk from Grand Mercure Bangkok Atrium; free parking at the Bangchak gas station right next door.
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.
