Steps

1. Cut the paneer into cubes and place in a bowl. Add yogurt, lemon juice, garam masala, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Thread the marinated paneer, bell peppers, and onion onto skewers.
