Method
- 1.
Make the marinade — In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, garam masala, turmeric, chili powder and salt to make a thick marinade.
- 2.
Marinate the paneer and veg — Add the paneer cubes, bell peppers and red onion to the marinade and toss gently to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- 3.
Thread the skewers — Thread the marinated paneer, peppers and onion alternately onto skewers. Brush the grill grates with the remaining oil.

Grill until lightly charred — Grill the skewers over medium-high heat, turning every few minutes, for 10-12 minutes until the paneer and vegetables are lightly charred at the edges.
- 5.
Finish and serve hot — Squeeze a little extra lemon juice over the skewers and serve hot, straight off the grill.
