Ingredients

Main Ingredients

400 grams paneer cubed
1 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
1 medium bell pepper cut into squares
1 medium onion cut into squares

Mint Chutney

1 cup fresh mint leaves chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
1 small green chili chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
1 tablespoon water as needed

Instructions

1 In a large bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, coriander powder, lemon juice, oil, and salt to make a marinade.
2 Add the paneer cubes, bell pepper, and onion to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3 While the paneer is marinating, prepare the mint chutney by blending mint leaves, cilantro, green chili, lemon juice, salt, and water to a smooth paste.
4 Preheat a grill or non-stick pan over medium heat.
5 Thread the marinated paneer, bell pepper, and onion onto skewers, alternating between them.
6 Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the paneer is golden brown and cooked through.
7 Remove the skewers from the grill and let them cool slightly.
8 Serve the paneer tikka hot with mint chutney on the side.
