Paneer is a fresh, Indian cheese (it’s a bit cheese-curd-esque, only without that cheese’s gooey meltiness) that’s apparently pretty delicious when you grill it. Because I just had the paneer tikka at Radhey Shyam Bhatia Paneer Wale, and it was extremely satisfying.
The version they serve here is marinated, and then grilled over coals along with red onion and green pepper. It’s really good.
The paneer has a remarkably meaty texture and a whole bunch of flavour thanks to the zesty marinade. That flavour is only amplified when you dip it into one (or both) of the two sauces they’ve got on the side — one creamy and garlicky, and the other herby and intense.
It’s also perfectly cooked, with some nice char from the grill and a really satisfying smoky flavour. It’s a pretty great snack.
