Preparation

In a mixing bowl, combine hung curd, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, chat masala, cumin powder, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.

Add the paneer cubes to the marinade and gently toss until each paneer cube is well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or longer for better flavor.

Preheat a grill pan or preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). If using a grill pan, brush it with a little oil to prevent sticking.

Skewer the marinated paneer cubes onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10-15 minutes before skewering to prevent them from burning.

Grill the paneer skewers on the preheated grill pan or in the oven for about 10-12 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking. The paneer cubes should be grilled until slightly charred and golden.

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the heat and serve the hot paneer tikka as an appetizer or as a filling for wraps or rolls.
