Simple Tandoori Paneer Skewers

Tandoori paneer skewers are a delicious and vibrant treat, perfect for any occasion. Marinated in a blend of yogurt, spices, and lemon juice, the paneer absorbs rich flavors before being grilled to perfection. They could be threaded with bell peppers and onions, each skewer gets a smoky, charred exterior while staying soft and creamy inside. The aroma of cumin, coriander, and garam masala fills the air, making them irresistible. Served with a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of cilantro, these skewers bring the authentic taste of Indian cuisine to your plate.
