Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, garam masala, red chili powder, turmeric powder, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, salt, and vegetable oil. Mix well until smooth.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Paneer

    Cut the paneer into cubes and add them to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the bell peppers and onion into thick chunks. These will be skewered along with the paneer.

Grilling

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Skewer the Ingredients

    Thread the marinated paneer and vegetable pieces onto skewers, alternating between paneer, bell pepper, and onion.

  3. 6

    Grill the Skewers

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the paneer is golden brown and the vegetables are tender.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve Hot

    Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot with mint chutney and lemon wedges.
