Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Paneer
- 100 grams Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, finely chopped
Instructions
Cut the paneer into approximately 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt to form a smooth marinade.
Add the paneer cubes to the marinade, making sure each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor infusion.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated paneer cubes onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they develop light grill marks and are heated through.
Remove the paneer skewers from the grill and sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top as a garnish.
Serve hot with a side of mint chutney or your favorite salad.
