Golden Touch Mise en Place – [15 mins. + 40 mins for marination]

1. Remove the edges of Paneer, about ½ inch to get a proper block*.
2. Cut the Paneer into cubes of desired size.
3. Cut the Vegetables into cubes of the same size as Paneer.
4. Mix the marinade powders in Double cream or Yogurt.
5. Mix the Paneer and Vegetables separately. Store covered in fridge for 40 mins.
6. Soak 4-6 bamboo skewers in cold water for 20 mins.
7. Heat your grill or oven to the highest settings.


Golden Touch Preparation - [20 minutes]

1. Thread the Paneer and Vegetables onto the skewer, to make a decorating combination.
2. Sear under grill for about 10-15 mins, rotating occasionally, until deliciously smoky and charred at the edges.


Golden Touch Service
Serve immediately sprinkled with Chat Masala and Lemon juice.
Coriander Chutney serves as a good accompaniment.

NOTES:
Notes on Paneer Making:

* Roast the Garlic to a fine crispy state, and do not add it, till after the Milk is boiled. This will help the Garlic retain its crispiness.
* Do not use, spoilt or Skimmed Milk. Organic Milk is not chemically treated and is most suited to make Paneer at home.
* Paneer is ideal for cooking over glowing charcoal.
* Although Yoghurt gives a better yield than Lime juice, in this recipe, I used Lime juice as it would give a tangy taste to the otherwise bland Paneer.


*Store the edges of Paneer, and I will post and excellent recipe made of it.
