Barbecued Paneer Tikka

Yum, yum, yum... make this on a barbecue or bake in an oven or even just roast on a heavy bottomed pan, this dish is easy to put together and is sure to impress your guests. I've made this about four times just this month and I've been happy with the results each time.

Ingredients:
- 500gms Paneer cut into cubes
- 1/2 red capsicum cut in cubes
- 1/2 green capsicum cut in cubes
- 1 red onion cut in cubes
- 2 tomatoes cut in cubes

For the marinade:

- 1/2 cup of curd- 1 tsp ginger paste
- 1 tsp garlic paste
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 1 tbsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp of garam masala
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp oil
- salt & pepper to taste

Other needs:
- Some butter/oil to baste
- 5-6 Bamboo skewers

Method:
- Prepare the marinade. Add the paneer, onions and bell peppers and mix well. Keep aside for an hour.
- Heat a heavy bottomed pan, add the mixture (everything except the tomatoes) and fry on high heat for about five minutes until all the water has dried and the paneer is well coated - Dip the bamboo skewers in ice cold water for about 1 hour. This prevents them from burning.
- Arrange the paneer, veggies and tomatoes on the skewers. You can start with tomato followed by green capsicum then paneer, onion & red capsicum.

Now baste them with a little butter and barbecue them until brown. If you are using an oven, line them up on an oiled baking tray and bake at 375 degrees for 15 mins, basting in between, until the sides of paneer have turned slightly brown.

Serve hot with green chutney!
