June 21st - the first day of summer was a perfect day. Not too hot and not too humid. We decided to celebrate the beginning of summer by doing some outdoor grilling. As I decided to be a vegetarian atleast for this year, I felt our options were pretty limited. I did not want to do the usual veggie patty burger. So I decided to make delish Paneer Kababs. This is my take on the scrumptious dish.
Ingredients:-
-250grams Paneer (Indian Cheese) - cut into medium sized cubes.
-2 green peppers (cut into large pieces)
-2 onions
-10 to 12 button mushrooms( halved)
Marinade:-
1 1/2 cups whole milk plain yogurt
4 cloves garlic
1 inch piece of ginger
1 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp chili powder( I like it spicy but if you don't you can reduce the amount)
juice of one lemon
2 tsp melted butter
Instructions:-
-Combine all the ingredients from the marinade list and process to a smooth paste in a blender or food processor.
-Combine the cut vegetables and cheese cubes with the marinade. Marinade atleast for 1 hr to 8 hrs.
-Skewer the vegetables and cheese. I made sure each skewer had atleast two of each item.
- Heat up the grill or indoor griddle. Place the loaded skewers on a well oiled surface of the grill.
- Grill each side for atleast 1 minute or until the pieces are well cooked.
