Dry roast the Ajwain (Carom seeds) and then lightly crush it.
Also dry roast the Kasuri Methi (Fenugreek Leaves) and then crush it with your hand once cooled.
To marinate, add all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl and whisk it well.
Now first add all the paneer cubes and mix it well to coat the paneer pieces with the marinade. Also add all the cubed peppers and onion. Give a mix again gently to not break the paneer pieces.
Cover and set it aside in the refrigerator for 1 hour to marinate.
Also soak the chop sticks or wooden sticks in water for around 30 mins. Remove from water and pat it dry with a kitchen towel just before skewering the kebab
Process:
To skewer:
To make the tikka skewers, skewer the paneer, onions, pepper cubes alternately as shown in the video. This will make around 4 skewer sticks.
Set aside on a plate
To roast:
Heat a tawa and brush it with oil.
Now place the skewered paneer tikkas side by side and roast it on medium low heat.
Roast on medium low heat initially for around 10 mins, turning the skewer sticks every 2-3 mins to roast it uniformly on all sides.
Continue to roast on low heat for another 8 mins. Keep turning the skewers every 2 mins.
Cook till the edges are brown and crisp.
