  15. 1 Tbsp Gram Flour

Method

  1. In a large bowl mix together all the ingredients of marinade.

  2. Add Paneer cubes and diced veggies in the marinade and marinate well. Keep inside refrigerator for about 1- 1½ hours.

  3. After taking it out of refrigerator let it come to Room Temperature.

  4. In oven- Place marinated veggies and paneer on a baking tray and bake for  7-8 minutes at 200 degree celsius in a pre-heated oven. Turn and bake for more 5-6 minutes.

  5. In tandoor- Put everything on skewers and grill in tandoor until golden brown.

  6. On Tawa- Place veggies and paneer on a heated non-stick tawa with little oil and grill till golden brown from all sides.

  7. Sprinkle Chat masala over it and serve hot.

Tips

  1. Use light hands while marinating as paneer pieces might break.

  2. If you are using skewers then soak them in water for 15-20 minutes before using.

  3. If you are in a hurry you can also marinate for 15-20 minutes only.
