Crispy Paneer Tikka with Charred Peppers and Raita

Paneer tikka is a thing of real beauty when it is done well: cubes of fresh cheese armoured in a spiced yoghurt crust, blistered and charred at the edges, with sweet peppers and onion catching the same heat. The trouble is that paneer can turn squeaky and dry, and the marinade often slides off into a sad puddle. My one small twist is to toast a spoonful of gram flour into the marinade, which thickens it into a paste that grips the cheese and crisps into a genuinely crunchy shell. Paired with a cooling minted cucumber raita, it is one of the best things you can make from a humble block of paneer.
