Paneer Tikka is the star vegetarian tandoor starter at Jaipur India Cuisine in Cochrane - cubes of fresh cottage cheese marinated in yogurt and spices, skewered with bell peppers and onions, and charred in our clay tandoor. Smoky, creamy and deeply satisfying.
We use fresh paneer and marinate it in thick yogurt with ginger-garlic, lemon, turmeric, Kashmiri chilli and a pinch of garam masala. The paneer is skewered with crisp bell peppers and onions, then cooked over glowing coals so the edges get a signature tandoor char while the cheese stays soft inside.
Served with fresh mint chutney and lemon, it's the go-to Indian vegetarian starter in Cochrane for paneer lovers, vegetarians and anyone looking for a gluten-friendly option. Pair it with garlic naan or make it a meal with dal and biryani.
