PANEER SKEWERS


No summer BBQ celebration in an Indian household is complete without grilled paneer. I soaked the paneer in a simple yogurt marinade and then racked them up with some veggies and grilled away. Apologies that I don’t have great post-grill pics – those perfectly charred skewers were so much in demand that they didn’t last long enough for those pics to occur!

Ingredients

2 cups paneer, cubed

1 cup veggies, cubed (mixed color peppers, onions)

¾ cup Greek yogurt (or very thick yogurt)

1 tbs each ground green chili, ginger and garlic

1 tbs oil

1 tsp cilantro coriander powder

1 tsp chaat masala

1 tsp tandoori masala

1 tsp garam masala

1 tsp red chili powder

1 tsp dried fenugreek

Salt to taste

2 tbs chopped fresh cilantro Juice of ½ lemon

Method

1 Whisk together all ingredients except paneer and veggies. Adjust spices to your taste

2 Add paneer and veggies and stir gently to coat every piece of paneer and veggie. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours

3 Arrange the paneer and veggies in an alternating manner on skewers

4 Fire up the grill and char away. Optionally, you can sprinkle chaat masala or lemon juice on top, but mine never get to that step!
