Paneer Skewers are the OG of vegetarian grilling—bold, vibrant, and always the life of the party. Think tender cubes of paneer marinated in a flavor bomb of spices and yogurt, then skewered alongside crunchy, colorful veggies. Grilled, roasted, or air-fried to smoky, golden perfection, these skewers are the perfect mix of juicy, charred, and irresistibly delicious. A top-notch paneer skewers recipe starts with fresh, firm paneer (the kind that holds up on the grill). The marinade? A creamy blend of hung curd, chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, and a squeeze of lemon juice for a zesty kick. Thread the paneer onto skewers with bell peppers, onions, and maybe some zucchini for extra flair. Pro tip: baste them with butter or ghee while grilling for that next-level smokiness. They're the perfect appetizer to wow your guests, a star dish for BBQ nights, or even a main course when paired with naan or a fresh salad. Plus, they're ridiculously fun to eat—food on sticks just hits different. And don't forget the dips! Mint chutney, spicy mayo, or even a tangy tamarind sauce make these skewers a dunking delight. Smoky, spicy, and seriously snackable, paneer skewers are everything you love about grilled food, minus the meat. Perfect for any occasion, these skewers are your go-to for good vibes and great flavor.

Cooking steps for Paneer Skewers
- 1Paneer skewers are about to become your new summer obsession—bold, spicy, and totally grill-worthy. Here's the ultimate recipe of paneer skewers that will have your taste buds throwing a party.
- 2Start with 600g of paneer cheese (the MVP of this dish), chopping it into generous cubes that can hold up on a skewer. Toss these beauties in the juice of two zesty lemons, sprinkling over 2 tsp of ground cumin for that earthy, smoky vibe.
- 3Now, we're talking marinade magic: whisk together 75g gram flour (chickpea flour is the hero here), 1 tsp garam masala, 1 tbsp paprika, 284ml of lush double cream, 4 crushed garlic cloves, and 2 fiery red chillies (deseeded for less heat, but you do you).
- 4Let your paneer chunks soak up all that saucy goodness for at least an hour—overnight if you're feeling extra fancy. While that's happening, prep the supporting cast: chop 2 vibrant peppers (a mix of red and yellow for the aesthetic), slice 2 fresh squashes, and get your skewers ready to assemble.
- 5Alternate between marinated paneer, colorful veggies, and repeat until your skewer is stacked like a rainbow. Brush everything with melted butter (25g should do it) and dust with a pinch of extra cumin for that finishing flair.
- 6Time to grill—pop those skewers onto a hot barbecue or under a preheated grill, turning occasionally for about 10–12 minutes until you've got those dreamy charred edges.
- 7Serve your paneer skewers with lemon wedges on the side for a citrusy squeeze that ties it all together. Can't find gram flour? No stress—regular flour works in a pinch, though gram flour adds that nutty dimension. And if paneer's elusive, halloumi's a fab understudy.
- 8Whether you're cooking for the fam or trying to flex at your next backyard bash, this paneer skewers recipe is the real deal—easy, vibey, and ridiculously delicious. Now, go skewer your heart out!
