All you need to do is:

  2. Mix all the other ingredients together.
  3. Marinate (soak) the paneer and the vegetables with the mixture for 2-3 hours. 
  4. After marination, arrange the paneer and the vegetables in the skewer (as shown in the picture).
  5. Put the skewer on the grill and roast until it cooks. Serve with onions, lemon and mint chutney.
Tips: 
  •  Longer the marination, tastier the dish. 
  • If you do not have a grill, use microwave. Use wooden skewers in the microwave, and not the metal ones.
  • If you neither have a grill, microwave or skewer, you can roast using a tawa (pan).
