Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Paneer
- 100 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Ginger garlic paste
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut the paneer into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.
Add the paneer cubes to the marinade and gently mix until all the pieces are well-coated.
Cover the bowl and let the paneer marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour for best results.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush with vegetable oil.
Thread the marinated paneer cubes onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Grill the paneer for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until you see a slight char and the paneer turns golden brown.
Once grilled, remove the paneer from the grill and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve hot with lemon wedges and your favorite chutney or dipping sauce.
