Indian Tandoori Paneer Skewers

Ingredients

• 400 grams paneer, cut into cubes
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons tandoori masala
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon oil

Method

1. 01
   In a large bowl, combine yogurt, tandoori masala, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.
2. 02
   Add paneer cubes to the marinade and gently coat them. Ensure all pieces are evenly covered. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.
3. 03
   Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.
4. 04
   Thread the marinated paneer cubes onto skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece for even cooking.
5. 05
   Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the paneer is cooked and has grill marks.
6. 06
   Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
7. 07
   Serve hot with a side of mint chutney and lemon wedges.
