Step 1
In a bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, cumin, kasuri methi, lemon juice, oil, and salt. Mix until smooth.
Step 2
Add paneer cubes to the marinade and gently toss to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Step 3
Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (400°F). Lightly oil the grates.
Step 4
Thread marinated paneer alternately with bell peppers and onion onto skewers.
Step 5
Grill skewers for 8-10 minutes, rotating every 2-3 minutes, until paneer develops light char marks and vegetables are tender.
Step 6
Transfer skewers to a serving platter and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Step 7
Serve hot with lemon wedges and mint chutney on the side.
