Ingredients for 1

3 oz

Paneer

1/2

Bell pepper (assorted)

1/4

Red onion

1/2 cup

Greek Yogurt (plain)

1 tsp

Turmeric (ground)

1/2 tbsp

Cumin (ground)

1/2 tbsp

Chili powder

1/2 tbsp

Garam masala

1/2

Lemon

Stovetop, Bamboo skewers, Sheet Tray, Knife

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cut paneer into 1/2 - 1 inch pieces.
Step 2
Wash the peppers & remove the seeds. Large dice the peppers.
Step 3
Peel & large dice the onion.
Step 4
In a large bowl, add greek yogurt, cumin, chili powder, garam masala, turmeric, salt, pepper, a generous drizzle of olive oil & lemon juice. Mix it all together. Add in the cubed paneer, diced onion & peppers. Toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic cling wrap & refrigerate for a minimum of 30 min (no longer than overnight).
Step 5
While everything marinates, pre-soak bamboo skewers in water. This will prevent burning in the oven! Assemble the skewers: arrange a few pieces of peppers, onions & a cube of paneer. Repeat the pattern on the same skewer 1-2x. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients & lay each skewer on a sheet tray lined with foil.
Step 6
Spritz the skewers with cooking spray & bake in the oven for 10-12 min, until the paneer is slightly charred on the outside. Serve with warm naan or fluffy basmati rice. Enjoy!
