Paneer tikka is a favorite Indian appetizer known for its smoky flavor, charred edges, and bold spices. Each bite combines tender cubes of paneer with the tang of yogurt and aromatic masalas, making it a dish that feels festive yet fits just as well into a casual family meal. Served with chutney and lemon wedges, it’s the kind of snack that always disappears fast from the platter.
