Tandoori Paneer Tikka

Origin

Paneer tikka emerged from the Mughal courts where vegetarian dishes were elevated to rival their meat counterparts. The technique of marinating and char-grilling transforms simple cottage cheese into something extraordinary.

Chef's Interpretation

Our paneer is made fresh each morning using milk from local farms. The marinade features 18 spices ground daily, creating a crust that shatters to reveal a pillowy interior. Finished with a whisper of activated charcoal for dramatic effect.

Flavor Profile

Smoky, creamy, with subtle heat building to a crescendo of roasted cumin and fenugreek.
