Ingredients
- 500 grams Paneer
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 units Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves
- 8 units Skewers
Directions
Step 1
Cut the paneer into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 2
In a blender or food processor, combine garlic cloves and ginger. Blend to form a paste.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the garlic-ginger paste, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Step 4
Add the paneer cubes to the marinade and gently toss to coat all pieces evenly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 5
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning.
Step 6
Preheat the grill on medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Thread the marinated paneer cubes onto the skewers, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
Step 8
Grill the skewers for about 3-5 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until the paneer is slightly charred and heated through.
Step 9
Remove the skewers from the grill and garnish with chopped cilantro leaves.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a main dish or with a side salad.
