Paneer Tikka Skewers with Bell Pepper and Zucchini

Grilled or baked paneer tikka skewers marinated in Indian spices and a yogurt marinade, served with grilled vegetables.

Ingredients

• 250 g, cut into 1-inch cubes Paneer
• 2 tbsp Tandoori Masala, 1 tsp Red Chili Powder Indian Spices (Tandoori Masala, Red Chili Powder)
• 1/2 of each pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces Bell Peppers (Green & Red)
• 1 medium, cut into 1-inch pieces Zucchini
• 1/2 cup, Greek or regular Plain Yogurt
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 tbsp, fresh Lemon Juice
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 inch piece, grated Ginger
• 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
• 1/2 tsp Garam Masala

Instructions

1. Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together yogurt, tandoori masala, red chili powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, olive oil, turmeric powder, and garam masala.
2. Add paneer cubes and vegetable pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Gently mix to avoid breaking the paneer.
3. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate.
4. Preheat grill to medium heat. If baking, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
5. Thread paneer and vegetables onto skewers, alternating paneer, bell peppers, and zucchini.
6. Grill skewers over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until paneer is lightly browned and vegetables are tender with slight char marks. Alternatively, bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the same level of doneness is achieved.
7. Serve hot with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and a side of lemon wedges, if desired.
