Ingredients
- 200 g paneer cut into 16 cubes
- 1 red bell pepper cut into 16 squares
- 1 red onion cut into 16 wedges
- 80 g Tikka paste
- 4 tablespoon Greek yogurt
Instructions
- If using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water before using them.
- Mix 4 tablespoon Greek yogurt and 80 g Tikka paste in a bowl.
- Add the cubes of 200 g Paneer to the marinade and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Thread the skewers with the paneer, 1 Red bell pepper and 1 Red onion.
- Cook under the grill (broiler) for 15 minutes, turning once.
Notes
- This recipe uses firm paneer, not the soft cottage cheese type that you can buy.
- You can also follow this exact recipe and use tofu instead of paneer.
- If you are serving these at a party, then serve them straight from the oven as they are best eaten hot.
- Be careful not to overcook the paneer. You want it to still be soft, and overcooking it can make it tough and chewy.
- We have used a tikka paste for this, however you can swap it for your favourite curry paste. Use something like madras for a real kick of heat.
- You can also use a tikka spice powder instead of a paste. This will save some calories (as the paste is quite oily), however it won't have the same flavour.
