Paneer Tikka is a beloved vegetarian dish that showcases the art of tandoori cooking. At Twist of TAJ in Nolan Hill, Calgary, we offer this classic in three delicious variations: Achari, Tandoori, and Malai. Each version features fresh, succulent paneer (Indian cottage cheese) that's been marinated in our special tikka masala and grilled to perfection in our authentic tandoor oven.
Our Paneer Tikka varieties each have their own distinct character: Achari features a tangy pickle-inspired marinade with bold spices; Tandoori delivers the classic smoky, aromatic tikka flavor; and Malai offers a creamy, mild option with its rich cream-based marinade. The tandoor gives the paneer those distinctive char marks and smoky flavor that can't be replicated any other way. Served with mint chutney and onion rings, Paneer Tikka is perfect for vegetarians and meat-lovers alike who appreciate authentic Indian cuisine in Calgary.
