Method:
- To make hung curd add the curd into a muslin cloth & squeeze out all the excess moisture, then place it in a sieve & place a small weight on it & let it rest for 25-30 minutes.
- Further transfer the hung curd into a large plate & add mustard oil, cashew paste, fresh cream, ginger garlic & green chilli paste, all the powdered spices, salt & mix the marinade using your hand, make sure there are no lumps.
- You can also give the marinade a smoky flavour by using live charcoal & ghee, this step is completely optional, place a piece of live charcoal in a small bowl & place it on the marinade, then pour a spoonful of ghee & cover the bowl using a lid & let it smoke for 3-4 minutes then take off the lid.
- Cut the paneer into tikkas & also prep the capsicum & onion similarly.
- To replicate the tandoor texture, I prefer to cook paneer tikka over direct flame using metal skewers.
- Insert the onion petal onto the skewer, then coat the cut paneer with the marinade & insert it into the skewer followed by a diced piece of capsicum then alternate the same sequence until there are 4-5 pieces of paneer on the skewer, prep all the skewers similarly.
- After skewering, cook them on open flame to get the charred texture, this method will replicate the tandoor.
- Once charred, remove the skewer from the flame & serve.
- Your delicious afghani paneer tikkas are ready, sprinkle some chaat masala & squeeze a bit of lemon while serving.
- To cook these in an airfryer, preheat the air fryer on 200 C for 10-15 minutes, then skewer the paneer & the veggies similarly on a bamboo skewer.
- Place a piece of foil in the air fryer & keep the skewered paneer tikkas, air fry for 10-12 minutes then apply butter & again let it cook for a few minutes until charred marks appear.
