i have not shared the paneer tikka recipe yet but i have shared the paneer tikka masala recipe but i am planning to share it soon. the main reason for sharing the achari paneer tikka prior to plain paneer tikka is i love the achari flavoured tikka recipes. i wanted to share this recipe since long time and it was due since last year. fortunately, i was having some left over paneer cubes in my fridge and my husband recommended to prepare some starters recipe. achari paneer tikka was the first option that came to my mind and i am so happy that i am sharing this amazing paneer recipe.

while the recipe preparation for achari paneer tikka is extremely simple, but few tips and suggestions for a perfect recipe. firstly, i have used homemade fresh paneer which is typically fresh and soft and it is ideal for tikka recipe. if you are planning to use store bought paneer, try to use fresh and soft paneer for this recipe. secondly, i have used spice powders which defines the achari masala. to skip these hassles, you can directly use any store bought indian pickle masala or even mango achar masala. lastly, i have used tawa to grill the paneer, but it can also be grilled in oven or convection oven.
