Paneer Mint Tikka:

I am really happy to be a part of Magic Mingle - 5 which is a monthly event started by Kalyani on her blog, sizzling taste buds. Paneer has always been my favorite recipe but nowadays I have to cut down due to my weight. Fortunately, today in Spar Hypermarket at Koramangala, Bangalore I found "Tofu - Paneer" written as "Low Fat", wow, it was a real surprise, yet it might add some more calories, but once in a while it is considered, according to me.

Regarding  Spar Hypermarket I can tell you only one thing, I am amazed by the way we can save using Spar both on grocery bills and on medical bills. Spar gives the best deal and offers, so we save on grocery bills while it gives the best product so we save on medical bills. It works accordingly to its tag line "Live Life Better". You can directly walk into Spar to find out the difference in shopping. I have seen 3 shops of them in Bangalore viz., Koramangala near Sony World Signal or Depot, Jayanagar near 4th block complex, and one in Malleswaram near Mantri Mall.

I have been to Barbeque Nation atleast for 3 to 4 times and my starter with paneer would be Paneer slightly roasted and served with Green Chutney (i guess the green should be mint and coriander leaves chutney), which is called as Paneer Tikka. As I had to planned to prepare it in microwave, I tweaked Grilled Paneer from my source, Vegetarian About.com.

Coming to the recipe:

Ingredients:

Tomato - 1

Paneer - 100 gms

Curds - 1/2 cup

Pepper Powder - 2 tbsp

Salt - 1 tbsp

Mint leaves - 1/2 bunch

Lemon Juice - 1 tsp

Method:

Extract the puree from tomato

Add curds, salt and pepper powder to it and check if all the proportion are correct

Smash mint leaves nicely and add it to the above mixture

Mix the mixture well by adding lemon juice

Break the paneer into 1" each and marinate it in the above mixture for 1 hour or above. I marinated it for 2 hours.

Take out the paneer from the mixture and prick it in tooth pick and microwave it for 2 to 3 minutes

Serve it with the same mixture or sauce
