Kasuri Methi Paneer Tikka

Kasuri Methi Paneer Tikka

Kasuri Methi Paneer Tikka is a flavorful and slightly smoky vegetarian dish made with paneer (Indian cottage cheese) cubes marinated in a yogurt-based sauce with fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi), then grilled or pan-fried. The fenugreek leaves add a unique depth of flavor to the dish, while the yogurt keeps the paneer moist and tender.
