Grilled Paneer Kabobs in Tandoori Seasoning

Prep Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 7 mins Servings: Yield: 4-6 portions Source:

Ingredients

1/2 cup plain or lemon yogurt

2 tablespoons tandoori seasoning blend

Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)

8 ounces paneer (chopped into 1-inch cubes)

Directions

Gather the ingredients.

Whisk together the yogurt, tandoori spice blend, and cayenne pepper in a wide, shallow bowl or container.

Add the chopped paneer, coating well with the yogurt sauce.

Allow the paneer to marinate for at least one hour, and, if you have the time, a little longer. Check the cheese once or twice to make sure it's still covered with sauce, and turn or re-coat it once or twice as needed.

Preheat an indoor or outdoor grill to medium-low heat. Skewer paneer on soaked bamboo skewers, and grill for 5 to 7 minutes, or until lightly charred, coating well with extra sauce.

Serve your grilled paneer drizzled with extra sauce, or serve the extra sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

This grilled paneer recipe is vegetarian and gluten-free (but check the ingredients on your spice blend to make sure there are no hidden additives just to be certain if needed).

Recipe Variations

Need a vegan tandoori grill recipe? Try swapping out the paneer for tofu and use a vegan soy yogurt for the marinade instead. It'll still be delicious and colorful, thanks to the strong tandoori seasoning blend of spices, which is where the real flavor comes from. Enjoy!

You can also make paneer kabobs by adding different ingredients to the bamboo skewers. Choose vegetables which take about the same time to cook as the paneer. Chunks of bell pepper, quartered sweet onions and mushrooms are traditional grill ingredients which would all work well.
