Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cauliflower florets
- 2 cups Bell peppers (mixed colors, cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 cup Zucchini (sliced into 1/2-inch rounds)
- 1 cup Red onion (cut into large chunks)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, garlic paste, ginger paste, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the cauliflower, bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl. Toss the vegetables thoroughly in the marinade until evenly coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more intense flavor.
While the vegetables are marinating, preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates or pan with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Skewer the marinated vegetables onto bamboo or metal skewers, alternating the various vegetables to create a colorful pattern. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes before using to prevent burning.
Grill the vegetable skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred on the edges.
Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot, either on their own or with naan, roti, or as a side to your favorite Indian curry.
