Instructions
- 1
Roast Gram Flour: Dry roast 2 tbsp besan (gram flour) in a small pan over low heat until it smells nutty (about 2 minutes). This helps the marinade bind to the paneer.

Prepare Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk the hung curd, roasted besan, 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste, 1 tbsp Tikka masala, 1 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder, and 1 tbsp hot oil. Mix until smooth.

Coat the Ingredients: Gently toss the paneer cubes, bell peppers, and onion chunks in the marinade until everything is well coated. Let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature.

Thread Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes. Thread the ingredients, alternating between onion, paneer, and bell pepper.

Cook: Preheat an oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a grill pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Brush the skewers with a little oil or melted butter.

Char and Serve: Bake for 15 minutes, or grill for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently, until the paneer is soft and the edges of the vegetables are beautifully charred. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top before serving.
