Ingredients
- 1 cup yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 2 tbsp garam masala
- 1 tbsp turmeric powder
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp lemon juice

- 1 red onion, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 1 block paneer, cubed
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- Wooden or metal skewers
Cooking Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix yogurt, garam masala, turmeric powder, chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
- Add bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and paneer to the bowl. Toss until everything is well-coated.
- Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. If you can resist snacking, 2 hours is even better.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. About 375°F or until you can feel the judgment of the neighbors wafting over the fence.
- Thread the marinated vegetables and paneer onto skewers. Alternate veggies and paneer for the best visual appeal.
- Brush the skewers with vegetable oil to avoid sticking and encourage glorious char marks.
- Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes, rotating every 2-3 minutes to ensure even cooking. You’re looking for those veggies to be tender and the paneer to have lovely grill marks.
- Remove from the grill and serve hot with a side of mint chutney or your favorite dipping sauce.
Suggestions
- Alternative Ingredients: Try chunks of eggplant, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes if you’re feeling adventurous.
- Garnishing Options: Fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime, or a sprinkle of chaat masala can take these skewers to the next level.
- Cooking Tips: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from turning into charcoal sticks.
