History of Punjabi Paneer Tikka

Paneer Tikka is a famous North Indian dish that originated from the Punjab region. It was created as a vegetarian alternative to the popular Chicken Tikka, a dish introduced during the Mughal era.

Roots in Tandoori Cooking

The origins of tandoori cooking can be traced back to the Indus Valley Civilization, where clay ovens (tandoors) were used. During the Mughal period, tandoori meats became a delicacy, and over time, Paneer Tikka emerged as a vegetarian version.

Evolution of the Dish

During the 1947 partition, Punjabi refugees brought their rich culinary traditions to Delhi, making Paneer Tikka a popular street food. The addition of hung curd, mustard oil, and garam masala gave it the distinctive smoky and spicy flavor.

Modern Popularity

Today, Punjabi Paneer Tikka is enjoyed worldwide in Indian restaurants and home kitchens. It is commonly served with mint chutney, lemon wedges, and onion rings, making it a delicious and healthy appetizer.
