For the Paneer Tikka

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Paneer

    In a large bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well. Cut the paneer into cubes and add them to the marinade. Toss gently to coat the paneer evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Prepare Vegetables

    Cut the bell peppers and onion into large chunks. These will be grilled along with the paneer.

  3. 3

    Assemble Skewers

    Soak the skewers in water for about 30 minutes (if wooden). Thread the marinated paneer cubes, bell pepper chunks, and onion pieces onto the skewers alternately.

  4. 4

    Grill the Skewers

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the skewers with oil. Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the paneer is golden and the vegetables are tender.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot with mint chutney or your choice of dip.
