Paneer Tikka with Spiced Curd Dip

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

2.Add the paneer cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.

3.Preheat your grill or oven to 200°C (400°F). If using skewers, thread the marinated paneer cubes onto the skewers.

4.Place the skewers on the grill or in the oven and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the paneer is golden and slightly charred.

5.While the paneer is cooking, prepare the spiced curd dip by mixing some additional spices (like cumin powder and salt) into the remaining curd. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

6.Once the paneer is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.

7.Serve the paneer tikka hot with the spiced curd dip on the side.
