Ingredients:
For the Marinade:
200g low-fat paneer, cut into cubes
4 tablespoons low-fat yogurt
1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder

Salt to taste
For the Skewers:

Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions:
Prepare the Marinade:
Combine yoghurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, red chilli powder, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl.
Mix well to form a smooth marinade.
Marinate the Paneer and Vegetables:
Add paneer cubes, onion squares, and bell peppers to the marinade.
Gently mix to coat everything evenly.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for better flavour).
Assemble the Skewers:
Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes if using.
Thread paneer and vegetables alternately onto the skewers.
Grill the Tikkas:
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat. You can also use an oven preheated to 200°C (390°F).
Lightly brush or spray the grill with oil.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook on each side for 3-4 minutes until the paneer is lightly charred and vegetables are tender.
If using an oven, place skewers on a baking tray lined with foil and bake for 15 minutes, turning halfway.
Serve:
Remove from heat and serve hot with mint chutney and lemon wedges.
