Paneer Kebabs
Paneer Kebabs
My entry for Nupur A-Z of Indian Vegetables. All things staring with "P"
Have our first barbecue party for this summer this Saturday, I volunteered to make grilled kebabs, what better way to eat paneer then grilled. For these barbecue kebabs I have used all things "P" Paneer, Pineapple, Pepper (red), Pudina, Pyaaz( Onion). A little bit preparation ahead will make these the talk of the party and well as delicious. Marinated these over night for best results.
Calculate your ingredients according to the number of kebabs you plan to make.
I add 2 cubes of Paneer, 2 Pineapple pieces per skewer.
Ingredients
Paneer cut into cubes
Pineapple cut into cubes
red onion cut into cubes ( whole small onion will make a great looking kebab's too)
Red bell pepper cut into cubes ( add yellow pepper for extra color)
Pudina (for flavor, this is optional I add because it grows wild in my back yard)
soak Skewers in water at least for 4-5 hours, else they get easily burned on the grill.
For marinate
I make yogurt based marinate, you can substitute with tomato based too
2 cups of yogurt, beaten into a fine consistency
2 tbsp ginger garlic paste
2 tbsp haldi
1 tbsp tandoori masala or garam masala
salt according to taste
R.chili powder optional
can add red food coloring to give a nice color to the paneer
1.Mix all the marinate ingredients and pour then in a big Ziploc bag
2. To this marinate add Paneer, Onion, Pineapple and Pepper toss all the ingredients well in the Ziploc, prick paneer and pineapple with tooth picks, this helps absorbs the marinate
3. store in the refrigerator over night
For making kebabs
1. heat your grill or you can do this on a tava
2. Arrange all the marinated veggies on a skewer, add a pudina leaf for flavor and color( this is optional however)
3.Grill this for few minutes on all sides, rub with marinate if the kebab's seem dryServe hot with a dash of lime. These not only look absolutely beautiful but taste amazingly too. Add a cool lemonade or lassi and enjoy your summer.

Nupur,
You are always very sweet with your comments. thanks for hosting the event
Reena,
what is halloumi ?
Dilip,
Thanks for your comments and welcome to my blog
These look so appetizing dear girl, gorgeous spring colours-
have replied your query on my blog, just pasting it here, for your convenience:
Sreelu,
I haven't frozen them myself, but I don't see a reason why you can't do it!
You can actually make them, place them on a baking sheet, and place in freezer until individual burgers are frozen and then put them all into a ziploc bag.
DO let me know how it turned out. I may just freeze some myself for a quick weekday meal...and do have loads of fun in the camp!
Hey Sreelu I just bought some new skewers from my trip to the lake district. I know now whats going to be my first dish using them
Wow!!! this one looks gr8!! thanx :)
