    We all love paneer tikka. However, we cannot eat the original tikka recipe during the Navratri or saavan fasting days. Falhari tikka is inspired from this. We use the original tikka recipe but make it gluten free. Falahari paneer tikka is a dish even kids will enjoy as it is low on spices. Most people order a tikka when at a restaurant. However, it is very easy to make at home. We use pineapple to give a hint of sweetness. Also, use root veggies like potatoes and sweet potato along with paneer cubes. Adding paneer to grilled veggies always makes things tasty. This is a dish you will enjoy thoroughly.

    What is falahari or falhari ?

    During the Hindu fasting period, we eat fruits, root veggies, dairy products and gluten-free flours only.

    • You can eat Amaranth, Sago, Tapioca, Water chestnut, sama/moraiyo .
    • We avoid eating wheat and rice.
    • Generally, people eat once a day, post sunset.
    • We avoid eating greens and use minimal spices like black pepper, green chillies, ginger and cumin.
    • We avoid sea-salt, garlic, red chilli powder.
    • Use rock salt, lime, dried mango powder.
    • Veggies like cauliflower, okra, cabbage, brinjals, tomatoes are also not eaten.

    Equipment

    • Skewers
    • Grill
    • Oven
    • or air fryer

    Ingredients

    • Boiled potato cubed
    • Pineapple peeled, cubed
    • Paneer / cottage cheese cubed

    For tikka paste

    • Yogurt/ dahi
    • Mint chopped
    • Green chilli chopped
    • Ginger grated / chopped
    • Quinoa flour or buckwheat (kuttu) or tapioca (sabudana) flour
    • Salt as per taste

    How to make paneer tikka a falhari recipe?

    Here, we prepare a simple tikka paste with mint leaves to coat the pieces.Later we grill it in an oven. You can also try to make in air-fryer. We have used sago(sabudana)powder to get some crispiness instead of chickpea paste or besan as in original recipe. Potato has been semi-cooked separately as they take longer to cook. This ensures all the ingredients cook evenly. We have then lined them in a skewer and cooked further with paneer and pineapple pieces.

    Instructions for paneer vrat tikka

    1. Mix the ingredients for marinate in a bowl

    How to cook falhari paneer tikka in oven ?

    • It is preferred to cook the skewers in a way that they do not touch any surface, else they won't be cooked evenly. So you may use a tray or a small grill to place the skewers as shown below.
    • If you do not have a grill to line the skewers, then place them in a baking tray lined with baking paper and rotate them once or twice during cooking.

    • Preheat the oven for 10 minutes at 180C (fan forced).Then cook them 17-18 minutes.
    • Later, cook them further for 3-4 minutes using the top grill/broiler option in the oven.
