Grilled paneer is a great barbecue option for veggies. We've combined grilled paneer with chunks of butternut squash and red onion before marinating in an Indian spiced yoghurt to pack in some real flavour. These skewers are easy to make and can be prepared ahead, giving the flavours extra time to develop, then grilled on the barbecue or in the oven. This dish is a perfect vegetarian alternative, but also makes a tasty barbecue side dish that everyone will love!
Paneer is an unsalted cheese popular in Indian cooking. It’s a really versatile ingredient that can be used in curries, salads, or to fill Indian starters such as dosa and pakora. It pairs well with strong flavours and spices. Once you’ve tried paneer in this dish, why not try making our spinach and paneer curry or grilled paneer and mango salad.
