Paneer is the main vegetarian protein eaten in India and it is a perfect foil for Indian flavours.

Method


  1. For the marinade, mix together all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and add the paneer, onion and peppers. Cover with cling film and allow the paneer and vegetables to marinate for 30-40 minutes, or longer, in the fridge.

  2. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6 and oil a baking sheet.

  3. Thread the vegetables and paneer alternately onto the skewers. Bake in the oven for seven minutes, drizzle over the melted butter, turn and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until charred at the edges.

  4. Sprinkle with chaat masala and serve. They are also great served with a green chutney.
