Cut the low-fat paneer into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the low-fat yogurt, ginger paste, garlic paste, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Add the paneer cubes to the marinade and gently toss them until they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Spray with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Once the grill is hot, place the paneer cubes carefully on the grill, ensuring they do not touch each other. Grill them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they have nice grill marks and are slightly browned.
Gently remove the paneer from the grill and garnish with fresh chopped coriander.
Serve immediately as a starter or with a side salad for a light meal.
