Paneer tikka is one of the most popular vegetarian snacks
Paneer, or cottage cheese, is a storehouse of proteins; it is low in calories, and thus, a great option for those who are on a weight loss diet. This achaari paneer tikka will be loved by your diet conscious friends too. Since, paneer is spongy in nature and has a neutral taste, it can very well embrace and absorb the flavours from other foods and spices that it is mixed with.
This dish, curated exclusively by Chef Bikram, assembles the paneer tikkas made of the three colours of the national flag. Don't worry; you won't have to add any colouring agents to paneer. It will all be the natural colour from chutneys made from similar coloured foods. Dunk one-third of the spices-laden paneer tikka cubes in green chutney, one-third in tomato chutney, and leave the rest as is in their white colour. Perfect! Isn't it?
So, go ahead and make this amazing tri-colour achaari paneer tikka for this Republic Day and celebrate the occasion with full fervour.
