Tikka Paneer & Pepper Skewers

Golden paneer, sweet peppers and red onion make colourful skewers with plenty of char and a fresh, cooling finish.

⏱️ Prep, Cook & Serve

Prep: 20 minutes, plus 20 minutes marinating | Cook: 12–15 minutes | Serves: 4

🧂 Ingredients

• 400g paneer, cut into 3cm cubes
• 1 red pepper and 1 yellow pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 red onion, cut into wedges
• 120g natural yoghurt
• 2 tbsp Tikka Masala spice blend
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• Mint yoghurt, lemon wedges and flatbreads, to serve

🔪 Method

1. Mix the yoghurt, spice blend, lemon juice and oil in a large bowl.
2. Add the paneer, peppers and onion. Toss gently, then marinate for 20 minutes.
3. Heat the grill or a griddle pan to high. Thread the paneer and vegetables onto skewers.
4. Cook for 12–15 minutes, turning regularly, until the vegetables soften and the paneer is golden at the edges.
5. Serve immediately with mint yoghurt, lemon and warm flatbreads.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

• Pile into flatbreads with shredded lettuce.
• Serve over pilau rice for a fuller meal.

💛 Why It Works

Paneer holds its shape over high heat and carries the aromatic marinade beautifully, while peppers and onion add sweetness.

🍳 Cook’s Tip

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes first.
