Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Paneer
- 100 grams Plain Greek Yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Ginger Paste
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Paste
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground Coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam Masala
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 200 grams Vegetables of choice (bell peppers, onions)
- 6 pieces Metal or wooden skewers
Instructions
Cut the paneer into 1-inch cubes. Similarly, cut the vegetables into thick pieces that can be easily skewered.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, ginger paste, garlic paste, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, garam masala, olive oil, chopped cilantro, and black pepper. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.
Add the paneer cubes into the marinade and gently coat them. Add the vegetables to the marinade as well and mix to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 15 minutes to prevent burning.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the paneer and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between paneer and vegetable pieces.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the paneer is lightly charred, and the vegetables are tender.
Remove from the grill and serve hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired. Enjoy your low sodium grilled paneer as an appetizer or a delicious filling in wraps.
