Step 1
Cut the 1 lb paneer, 2 bell peppers, and 1 red onion into 1-inch chunks. In a bowl, mix 0.5 cup yogurt, 2 tsp garam masala, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 2 tbsp oil until smooth.
Step 2
Add the paneer and vegetables to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Let sit for 10 minutes while you preheat the grill to medium-high.
Step 3
Thread the paneer and vegetables onto skewers, alternating pieces. Reserve any extra marinade for basting.
Step 4
Grill the skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until the paneer is golden and charred at the edges and the vegetables are tender.
Step 5
Brush with leftover marinade during the last 2 minutes of grilling. Remove from heat and sprinkle with 0.25 cup chopped cilantro before serving.
Step 6
Serve hot with naan or rice and a side of chutney, if desired.
