Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons tandoori masala (homemade or store-bought, divided)
- 1/4 cup yogurt
- 5 to 6 tablespoons vegetable oil (or canola or sunflower cooking oil, divided)
- Kosher salt (to taste)
- 1/2 pound paneer (homemade or store-bought, cut into 30 (2-inch) cubes)
- 1 large onion (cut into 1-inch square pieces)
- 1 red bell pepper (deseeded and cut into 2-inch cubes)
- 1 green bell pepper (deseeded and cut into 2-inch cubes)
- 2 tablespoons chaat masala (available at Indian grocery stores)
- Lemon juice (to taste)
- Garnish: lemon wedges
Directions
- Gather the ingredients.
- Mix 2 1/2 tablespoons of tandoori masala with the yogurt, 2 tablespoons cooking oil, and salt to taste, and make a smooth paste.
- Put the paneer chunks in a bowl and pour the tandoori paste over it. Mix gently to coat the paneer. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for two hours.
- Mix the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of tandoori masala with the onions to coat them well.
- Thread the marinated paneer, onion, and green and red bell pepper pieces onto bamboo skewers.
- Preheat your grill on medium.
- Place the paneer skewers on the hot grill and brush with a little cooking oil.
- Grill until the paneer is light golden and the onions are soft. Do not overcook, or the paneer will become rubbery.
- Remove onto a plate and sprinkle with chaat masala.
- Squeeze some lemon juice over the paneer skewers, garnish with lemon wedges, and serve hot.
- Enjoy!
