Name: Indian Paneer Tikka (Grilled Homemade Cheese)
Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 18 min
Total time: 43 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 450 g Paneer, cut into cubes; 180 ml Thick Greek yogurt; 1 tbsp Ginger-garlic paste; 0.5 tsp Turmeric powder; 1 tsp Red chili powder (to taste); 1 tsp Garam masala; 1 tsp Ground cumin; 1 tsp Ground coriander; 0.5 tsp Chaat masala; 1 tbsp Lemon juice; 1 tsp Salt (to taste); 2 tbsp Vegetable oil; 1 pc Large red onion, cut into cubes; 2 pc Bell peppers (various colors), cut into cubes; null to taste Fresh coriander, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

Prepare Marinade

In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, ground cumin, ground coriander, chaat masala, lemon juice, salt, and vegetable oil. Mix well to form a smooth paste.

Marinate Ingredients

Add the cubed paneer, red onion, and bell peppers to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally 2-3 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.

Skewer Assembly

Once marinated, thread the paneer cubes and vegetables alternately onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.

Grill or Bake

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or your oven to 200°C (fan-assisted). Grill the skewers for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the paneer and vegetables are lightly charred and tender. If baking, cook for a similar duration until golden brown.

Serve

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped coriander. It pairs wonderfully with naan bread, rice, or a fresh salad.
