Ingredients

• Paneer - 200 grams
• Greek yogurt - 2 tablespoons
• Ginger-garlic paste - 1 teaspoon
• Red chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Garam masala - 1/2 teaspoon

• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Bell pepper (red or green) - 1 medium, chopped

Steps

1. Cut the paneer into 2.5 cm cubes and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, cumin powder, lemon juice, salt, and olive oil to create the marinade.
3. Add the paneer cubes, chopped bell pepper, and onion to the marinade and coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
4. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
