Ingredients
  

Marinade
  • 200 g paneer cubes
  • 1/2 cup yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • Salt to taste
Vegetables
  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • 1 onion cubed

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven
  • Skewers
  • Grill Pan
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Mix yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and spices into a thick marinade.
  2. Coat paneer and vegetables evenly, ensuring all surfaces are well covered.
  3. Let marinate briefly to absorb flavor without breaking the paneer texture.
  4. Thread paneer and vegetables onto skewers, alternating for even cooking.
  5. Grill or bake until edges turn golden and slightly crisp while inside stays soft.
  6. Serve hot with chutney or yogurt dip for extra flavor.

Notes

Cook longer for crispier edges or less for softer texture. Freeze marinated paneer before cooking if needed. Handle gently when skewering to avoid breaking. Add spices or herbs for variation. Store refrigerated up to three days and reheat lightly.
