Paneer tikka is a popular North Indian snack that’s a light meal in itself, and often finds its way on the list of quick, high-protein dinners. This is also why it’s perfect for meal prep. Paneer tikka is made by grilling marinated cottage cheese cubes on a grill or tawa. The marination is made from a spiced hung curd mixture. With proper meal prep, cooked paneer tikka can be stored for up to 4 days in the fridge.

A North Indian street food special, aloo tikki chaat combines shallow-fried potato patties (aloo tikkis) with a messy topping of chutneys, yoghurt, onions, and spices.

With this recipe, bring the popular street food into your kitchen.
