It features a medium spice level, offering a balanced warmth from traditional tandoori spices without being excessively hot.
Does the dish include any vegetables?

Is this dish vegan?
No, paneer is a dairy product (cheese), and the marinade uses yogurt, making it suitable for vegetarians but not for vegans.

About Paneer Tikka
Paneer Tikka is the undisputed king of vegetarian starters. We take large, fresh cubes of Indian cottage cheese (paneer) and marinate them alongside bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes in a zesty blend of yogurt and tandoori spices. Skewered and cooked in a roaring hot clay oven, the paneer absorbs the earthy smokiness while the edges become delightfully charred and crisp. The center remains incredibly soft, offering a magnificent contrast of textures and a deeply satisfying, savory flavor.
