Description

Paneer Noorjani Kebab is a decadent North Indian dish that showcases paneer (Indian cottage cheese) in its most indulgent form. This royal kebab gets its name from “Noor” (meaning light/glow), reflecting the kebab’s creamy, rich, and elegant appearance and taste.

The paneer is marinated in a luscious mixture of hung curd, cream, ground cashews, and aromatic spices like cardamom, white pepper, and nutmeg. This white marinade brings out the richness and makes the kebab stand apart from the spicier tandoori versions. Once marinated, the paneer cubes are either skewered and grilled or roasted until slightly charred and irresistibly soft inside.

Often served with mint chutney and sprinkled with chaat masala, this kebab is a favorite in Mughlai and Awadhi cuisine. It’s perfect for festive meals, royal platters, or vegetarian kebab lovers who enjoy a mild yet flavorful experience.
