Tandoori Paneer Kabobs

Tandoori paneer is traditionally made in a tandoor oven (hence the name), but since I don’t have one I like to cook it on a grill pan to add the charred edges it would normally get. This recipe works really well on an outdoor grill as well!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon chat masala- I make my own, but you can buy this one.
• 2 teaspoons garam masala
• 2 teaspoons Kashmiri chili powder. You can find it here.
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon grated garlic
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 block paneer (chopped into cubes)
• 1 cup bell pepper (assorted colors chopped into pieces)
• 1/2 white onion (chopped into large pieces)

Directions:

1. Combine the yogurt and spices into a bowl.
2. Add in the chopped paneer and veggies, and mix to coat everything evenly in the marinade.
3. Let the mixture sit in the fridge for at least an hour (the longer you leave it, the more tender your paneer will be after it cooks).
4. Assemble the kabobs by alternating paneer and veggies on wood skewers. *soak the skewers in water first if using an outdoor grill*
5. Spray the cooking surface with non stick spray and bring it to a high heat.
6. Place the kabobs on the grill pan and let it cook on each side for 3-4 minutes.
