  1. Slice the block of paneer into small cubes. Trivia time; paneer is the most popular form of cheese in Indian dishes and is the only cheese from Asia that can be compared to other western dishes in texture.
  2. To start the marinade, ask your helper to whisk together the yogurt, ginger and garlic paste, garam masala, salt, turmeric, paprika and cumin.
  3. Into a clean bowl, allow your helper to combine the yogurt marinade with the paneer, peppers and onions. Add 2 tps of olive oil and stir gently.
  4. Cover and place into the fridge to marinate for a minimum of 30 mins or for even more flavour, a maximum of 12 hrs.
  5. In the following order; onion, paneer, pepper, and paneer again, ask your helper to piece them onto skewers.
  6. Place the skewers under a hot grill to cook until golden around the edges. Serve whilst hot and garnish with lemon juice.
