Ingredients

16 0z paneer cubed into 1-2 inch cubes, about 15-16 cubes
½ green bell pepper cut into chunks
½ red bell pepper cut into chunks
1 red onion cut into chunks
cooking spray

For the marinade:

¾ cup whole milk yogurt
½ teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
½ teaspoon cumin powder
½ teaspoon coriander powder
¼ teaspoon crushed ginger
¼ teaspoon crushed garlic
½ teaspoon cayenne (skip or reduce quantity to reduce heat)
salt to taste

For granish: (optional)

minced cilantro
lime
chat masala

Instructions

Mix all the ingredients for the marinade together in a large bowl.
Toss the paneer cubes, onions and peppers and mix to coat well.
Chill for at least 20 mins in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill. Skewer the paneer and the veggies alternatingly.
Spray a non-stick grill pan with cooking spray and place the skewers on it.
Turn them around every 5-10 mins or so and they will be done once you don't see any raw marinade on them.
Sprinkle some minced cilantro and chat masala and squeeze a lime wedge just before serving.

Notes

The cooking spray is so that the paneer and veggies dont stick to the pan or the grill as they dont have any inherent fat in them to help with not sticking.
