Preparation

Marinating the Paneer

Combine spices

In a bowl, combine the yogurt, ginger garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt.

Coat paneer

Mix until smooth, then add the paneer cubes, ensuring they're well-coated.

Refrigerate

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preparing the Skewers

Thread skewers

Thread the marinated paneer, bell pepper, and onion alternately onto the skewers.

Brush with oil

Brush lightly with oil.

Preheat grill

Preheat the grill or a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.

Ensure the grill is well-oiled to prevent sticking. Pro Tip: Use a basting brush to keep the paneer moist while grilling.

Cooking Process

Grilling

Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until the paneer is charred and the vegetables are tender, about 10-12 minutes.

Chutney Prep

Blend all chutney ingredients to a smooth paste, adjusting salt as needed.
