Grilled paneer cheese

Indian paneer cheese works well on your indoor or outdoor grill, as it chars lightly instead of melting away like other cheeses. In this Indian tandoori-inspired recipe, paneer cheese is coated in a yogurt sauce, smothered in tandoori spices, and grilled on skewers just until lightly charred. Serve it up with extra sauce. Yum!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup plain or lemon yogurt
  • 2 tbsp tandoori seasoning blend
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste (optional, if you like your food a bit spicy!)
  • 8 ounces paneer cheese, chopped into 1-inch cubes

Preparation:

Whisk together the yogurt, tandoori spice blend and cayenne pepper. Add diced paneer cheese, coating well with sauce. Allow to marinate for at least one hour.

Pre-heat an indoor or outdoor grill to medium low heat. Skewer paneer on soaked bamboo skewers, and grill for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly charred, coating well with extra sauce.

Serve your grilled paneer drizzled with extra sauce, or serve the extra sauce on the side for dipping.
