Ingredients & Substitutes

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine 0.5 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste, 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon red chili powder, 1 teaspoon garam masala, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon salt.

2. 2

   Add 400 grams paneer cubes, 2 large bell pepper squares, and 1 medium red onion squares to the yogurt mixture, ensuring all ingredients are well-coated, then marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

3. 3

   For the glaze, blend 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves, 0.5 cup fresh cilantro leaves, 1 small green chili, 0.5 teaspoon cumin powder, 0.5 teaspoon sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons water into a smooth chutney.

4. 4

   Thread the marinated paneer, bell pepper, and red onion pieces alternately onto 8-10 pre-soaked wooden skewers.

5. 5

   Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large grill pan or griddle over medium-high heat.

6. 6

   Place the skewers on the hot pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, rotating frequently until the paneer is golden brown and the vegetables are slightly charred and tender.

7. 7

   During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the skewers generously with the prepared mint-cilantro glaze, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

8. 8

   Serve the Spicy Paneer and Bell Pepper Skewers immediately as a delightful appetizer or light meal.
