Spiced Paneer and Bell Pepper Skewers

In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, garam masala, red chili powder, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well to form a marinade.

Add the paneer cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

While the paneer marinates, thread the marinated paneer cubes and bell pepper pieces alternately onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the skewers in the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.

Cook the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the paneer is golden brown and the bell peppers are tender-crisp. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.

Serve the Spiced Paneer and Bell Pepper Skewers immediately with a side of mint chutney or a simple green salad.
