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

Directions

Step 1

Cut the paneer into approximately 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Thread the marinated paneer cubes onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Remove the paneer skewers from the grill and sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top as a garnish.

Step 8

Serve hot with a side of mint chutney or your favorite salad.
