paneer ke kabab (tikka style)

I had some long-term doubt if the different names kabab,kebab and kabob are dissimilar but recently my doubt was cleared that all are the same! of course googling about this cleared my hesitancy.Next to chaat, kababs too take an integral part in street foods history.The very same paneer ke kabab which is more of tikka style when done in a traditional tandoori oven gives a charcoal y   flavour. Iam hard-line fan for this smoky flavour but in our homes we can use a griller or an oven to make it. The vegetable you are using should be cut of same size for even cooking and grilling!mostly for grilling kebabs they are cut into cubes.The onions are separated into segments as cubes and for capsicum the very same way.Marinating the vegetables for some time leaves the kebab to taste awesome!You can very well fry some kasuri methi and crush them before adding it to the marinate for great flavour enhancement.As I had only green coloured capsicum in hand I have used it you can very well use yellow and red capsicum for attractive colour combinations.I have an electrical griller so I did with it if you don’t have one use a simple dosa pan drizzle some oil and cook on all the sides with constant turning when cooked.

Notes

While adding lemon juice be cautious not to add more as we have added curd too it will become tangy.
If you like thin coating of batter make it thin so that it coats the mixture lightly.
Serve hot with desired chutney.
While adding kasuri methi crush and add for more flavour.
Add salt according to your taste.
I have an electrical griller and so I have done with it.
If you prefer it to do in oven then preheat the oven and then cook for few minutes in grill mode.
