Instructions

Marinating and Preparing Skewers

In a medium-sized bowl add curd, ginger, garlic, turmeric, salt, red chili powder, garam masala, and chaat masala. Crush the dried fenugreek leaves on the palm of your hands and add them to the bowl. Add lemon juice and mix all the ingredients to make the marinade.
Add paneer, capsicum and onions to the marinade and mix everything together coating the paneer and veggies well with the marinade.
Cover the bowl and allow it to marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 24 hours. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes which prevents them from burning.
Thread the Paneer and peppers into the skewers alternating the paneer, peppers, and onions. (If you do not have skewers you can also cook the paneer and veggies directly in the air fryer, oven or grill).
