* Note:

Piri Piri is an extremely hot sauce. I usually de-seed and de-vein
half the quantity of Fresno peppers to reduce the heat level. You
could reduce the quantity in marinade too. If you do not get use any
red colored peppers, just ensure that they are hot.

Piri Piri Sauce:

In a sauce pan, heat up the 2 tb oil. Add all of the ingredients
except the garlic, lime juice, water & olive oil (needed for
blending) & stir for 1 minute or so. Add the water and cook covered
over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes until the pepper skins are soft.
Remove from heat, and allow to cool to room temperature. When the
mixture has cooled, put into a blender, add the garlic cloves, lime
juice, and blend drizzling the olive oil to a smooth blend. Strain
the sauce through a fine mesh strainer. Pour into a clean glass
container and cover with a lid. Let sit for at least 2 days before
using.

Paneer Tikka:

Marinate the paneer in piri piri sauce, garam masala, salt to taste,
and sugar. Add the oil and combine so that the paneer pieces. Skewer
the paneer if you want. Let sit for 30 minutes, refrigerated.

Heat up your grill pan or outdoor grill and grill the marinated
paneer for 1 to 2 minutes on both sides. Paneer does not need much
cooking so this should be fast. Brush liberally with oil while you
grill. Take off the grill as soon as you get grill marks and sprinkle
with chaat masala (optional).

Serve immediately with green chutney, onion slices, cilantro & lime
wedges.
