Instructions

Stir together the thick yogurt, chilli powder, garam masala, turmeric, coriander powder, kasuri methi, chaat masala, ginger garlic paste and salt.
Optional: fry 1 tablespoon besan in part of the oil on low heat until fragrant, cool it, then mix into the marinade with the ajwain.
Add the remaining oil and mix well. Check salt and spice, adding more salt and chilli if needed.
Add the capsicum and onion cubes and mix well, then gently coat the paneer cubes in the marinade.
Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours. Do not marinate overnight, as the paneer may break.
Thread the paneer, capsicum and onion alternately onto skewers (large skewers for oven, small for tawa).
Oven: preheat to 230°C (450°F) for at least 15 minutes. Line a baking tray with parchment, place the skewers on it and spray with oil. Grill for 10 to 11 minutes, brushing with leftover marinade halfway. Move to a higher rack and broil 2 to 3 minutes until slightly charred. Remove when golden or lightly charred.
Tawa: heat a tawa with 1 tablespoon oil spread evenly. Add the skewers on medium heat and turn often until golden.
Tawa finish: place a wire rack over a direct gas flame, set the skewers on it and grill until char-grilled on all sides.
Brush the hot tikka with butter or mustard oil before serving.
Air fryer alternative: air fry at 200°C (390°F) for 5 minutes, brush with marinade and air fry 2 more minutes, then brush with butter or mustard oil.
