12 oz paneer 1 onion medium-sized 1 red bell pepper 1 green bell pepper cooking spray Marinade Ingredients 3 tablespoon Greek yogurt 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste 1 jalapeno minced 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon turmeric powder 1 teaspoon chaat masala ½ teaspoon garam masala ½ lemon optional ½ teaspoon salt to taste Green Chutney Ingredients 1 bunch cilantro leaves 1 bunch mint leaves 1 tomato small, chopped 4 cloves garlic peeled 2 green chillies ½ tsp salt to taste
Cut the paneer into cubes.
Remove the layers of the onion and cut into squares.
Cut the green and red bell peppers into squares.
Take all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and whisk to form a smooth paste.
Put the paneer pieces in the marinade, cover with plastic wrap and leave the bowl in a cool place for 30 minutes.
Put all the chutney ingredients in a small blender and blend to get a smooth puree.
Turn on the oven and preheat to 525 degrees Fahrenheit on the broil mode.
Skewer the paneer and veggies on wooden skewers alternating between the paneer and veggies. Shake off excess marinade.
Spray the kababs generously with cooking spray and arrange the skewers in a deep bowl so that the kebabs do not touch the bottom.
Place this bowl in the pre-heated oven and set the timer anywhere between 5-8 minutes.
After the timer has gone off, remove the bowl with the skewers and arrange them on a plate. Serve hot with green chutney.
Paprika can be substituted with red chilli powder if you want spicier kababs. It's a personal choice.
If you want, you can marinate the veggies too before grilling them. Again, a personal choice.
