Paneer tikka recipe – super tasty & easy

October 17, 2022

This incredibly tasty wrap variation is unbelievably delicious! Filled with my warm paneer tikka recipe, slightly spicy yoghurt mint dip and lots of fresh, crunchy vegetables – a dream! So be sure to try it out for yourself. It’s worth it:-)!

Paneer – what is it?

Paneer is a Pakistani/Indian cheese made from cow’s milk with a crumbly, firm consistency. Paneer is often used as an ingredient in soups and curry dishes, but is also a great alternative to meat. Paneer is also very easy to make yourself, which I will go into in more detail in another blog post. Today we are going to make it easy for ourselves and buy paneer from our favorite Indian 🙂

About my paneer recipe

I’ve been asked a lot on my social media channel recently if I can cook something with paneer. So I immediately went to my local Indian supermarket and got myself some paneer! As I unfortunately didn’t have much time that day for anything elaborate, I came up with this idea: a simple, delicious paneer tikka recipe in a wrap with fresh, crunchy vegetables and a slightly spicy, refreshing yoghurt-mint dip – a dream!

Paneer tikka recipe – the ingredients

You can of course fill your wraps with whatever you like. I’ll show you my version here, where everything really harmonized perfectly! What I don’t think you should leave out is my beloved yoghurt and mint dip! Not only is it super tasty, it’s also much healthier than the ready-made sauces that are often used for wraps or burgers. I marinated the paneer cheese with spices, yoghurt, garlic and olive oil beforehand. I also added fresh tomatoes and red onions.

Paneer tikka - step-by-step instructions

Peel the garlic and crush in a mortar. (Alternatively, chop finely)
Put the olive oil, spices, garlic and yogurt in a large bowl and mix well.
Cut the paneer into 3-4 cm cubes and add to the mixture. Mix everything well.
Wash the vegetables and chop as desired (see in the quantities).
Place the paneer in a pan with the spice, garlic and yoghurt marinade and fry on both sides until golden brown.
Heat the wraps briefly on both sides in a pan and top as desired.

Tips, tricks & notes

You can use whatever vegetables you like. If you don’t like onions, you can leave them out, for example. If you want the wrap to be even crispier, I recommend briefly frying the wrap again on both sides until golden brown after rolling it up. Paneer can also easily be marinated and stored in the fridge for several days.

Alternative to paneer

I know that paneer is very rarely available in German supermarkets. However, you can easily replace paneer with halloumi. If you use halloumi, make sure you leave out or greatly reduce the salt, as halloumi tastes very salty, unlike paneer. Another alternative is natural tofu.

This paneer tikka wrap is not only delicious, but also very quick to make! This version is also a lot healthier than the shop-bought wraps, as I use my homemade yoghurt mint chutney instead of ketchup or mayo!
