Easy Paneer Tikka Skewers

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Paneer Tikka Skewers.

1. Step 1

   To start, take a fine-mesh strainer and line it with muslin or cheesecloth, then place it over a small bowl.

2. Step 2

   Pour your yogurt into the strainer and let it sit for about 15 minutes.

3. Step 3

   This will help drain off any excess liquid, giving you a thicker, creamier base for your marinade.

4. Step 4

   While the yogurt is draining, grab a mixing bowl and combine the thickened yogurt with ginger-garlic paste, fresh lemon juice, turmeric, red chile pepper, cumin, garam masala, and a pinch of salt.

5. Step 5

   Stir everything together until it’s well blended and fragrant.

6. Step 6

   Next, gently fold in the paneer cubes, sliced onion, and green bell pepper, making sure each piece is generously coated in that delicious marinade.

7. Step 7

   Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour—this allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

8. Step 8

   When you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate to keep everything from sticking.

9. Step 9

   Now it’s time to assemble your skewers! Thread the marinated paneer, onion, and bell pepper onto metal skewers, packing them in tightly for maximum flavor.

10. Step 10

    Grill the skewers for about 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the paneer has a lovely golden-brown color.

11. Step 11

    For an extra burst of flavor, brush them with a little vegetable oil and grill for an additional minute.
