Paneer Tikka Kebab
These spicy paneer tikka kebabs just plain get it. Crispy and charred paneer on the exterior and soft in the centre. The kebabs are great served on their own or wrapped into a hot homemade naan.
If you’re working ahead of time, you can marinate these early in the day and then simply skewer and grill them before serving.
Paneer doesn’t have a lot of flavour on its own. So it is important to get the marinade just right. Follow the recipe and taste it. If you think it needs more spice or lime, add it.
Mix all of the marinade ingredients.
Allow the paneer and veggies to marinate for two hours or more for best results.
Skewer it up and cook over hot coals for about ten minutes.
This can be eaten on its own or wrapped into a hot naan.

Would tomatoes be a good substitute for the red bell pepper. I don’t like bell peppers of any color but reserve my harshest dislike for the green ones! :p
Hi Janie
Tomatoes would work fine. Go for it.
Thanks,
