Pudina Paneer Tikka is a refreshing and aromatic variant of the classic Punjabi appetizer, uniquely celebrated for its vibrant green hue and herbal profile. This recipe features succulent cubes of paneer marinated in a potent blend of fresh mint, coriander, and thick yogurt seasoned with roasted spices. The tikka is roasted in a professional-grade tandoor or oven until it reaches a magnificent golden-charred state while retaining a buttery soft interior. The cooling properties of mint perfectly balance the warmth of the tandoori heat, offering a sophisticated flavor profile that is both exhilarating and refreshing. Best enjoyed hot with a squeeze of lime and spicy pickled onions.

Tips & Secrets
- Using fresh mint is non-negotiable; dried mint cannot replicate the professional-grade vibrant green color or aroma.
- Whisking the yogurt until smooth before adding the herb paste is the secret to a professional-grade uniform coating.
- Do not overcook the paneer; 15 minutes is the maximum time specifically to maintain a buttery soft professional interior.
- Ensure the herb paste is fine and not grainy to achieve a high-end restaurant-style velvety finish on the tikka.
