Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparing the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, turmeric powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, and salt. Add cubed paneer to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grilling the Paneer

    Preheat your grill or oven to a medium-high temperature. Skewer the marinated paneer cubes along with chunks of bell pepper and onion. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown.

  3. 3

    Making the Tomato Sauce

    In a pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Add tomato puree and cook for 5 minutes. Add the remaining spices (garam masala, turmeric, cumin, red chili powder) and salt to taste.

  4. 4

    Combining Everything

    Gently add the grilled paneer to the tomato sauce and mix well. Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Garnishing

    Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
