Ingredients

  • 400 grams Paneer cut into cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or any cooking oil for grilling

For marinade

  • 4 tbsp plain yogurt beaten and smooth
  • 2 tsp Ginger garlic paste
  • 1 tsp Red chilli powder
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tsp olive oil or any cooking oil
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Cut the Paneer cubes. If you want to add veggies, dice them as well. Be sure to cut them in similar size as the paneer cubes.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add all the ingredients under ' For marinade' and mix to get a smooth paste.
  • Add the paneer cubes (and the veggies) and marinate for a minimum of 2 hours (can be more as well) in a refrigerator.
  • After 2 hours, remove Paneer and let it come to room temperature.
  • Take a grilling pan and brush oil uniformly. Heat it.
  • Once heated, on a medium flame, grill the paneer cubes. The grill marks should appear on both the sides.
  • Remove and serve hot with a chutney and salad side.

Notes

Cooking with skewers:
  1. Immerse the skewers for 15 minutes in water prior to use. This will prevent food from sticking to it once cooked.
  2. If you don't have skewers, use toothpicks instead!
  3. Skewer the paneer cubes and veggies alternatively.
  4. Follow the same steps if using a grilling pan.
Cooking in Oven:
  1. Preheat oven to 240 C (or 465 F).
  2. Line the baking tray with a baking sheet and arrange the paneer cubes/ skewers.
  3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the sides turn golden brown.
  4. Half way through the bake time, flip the pieces to get charring on both the sides.
