  • 1.5 tablespoon Red Chili Sauce
  • 1.5 teaspoon Lemon Juice

Instructions
 

  • Ingredients
  • Take the paneer cubes in a zip lock bag and add all the remaining ingredients to it.
  • Close the zip lock bag and shake and mix all the ingredients together to marinate the paneer properly.
  • Refrigerate the marinated paneer for at least 30 mins. You can even refrigerate it overnight.
  • Arrange the paneer on the skewers.
  • Grill them over the barbecue till they are slightly brown. rotate them after couple of minute to avoid burning.
  • If you are doing it over a griddle or tava, heat up the pan and brush it with oil. Place the marinated paneer over it and cook till brown from all sides.
  • Dont throw away the remaining marinade or pour it over the paneer while cooking.
  • Drizzle it on top of grilled paneer before serving, this gives paneer the perfect flavor.

Notes

  • If you don't have honey you can replace it with regular sugar or brown sugar.
  • Sugar also gives nice caramelization while grilling.
  • Do not cut the paneer cubes too small or they will break while putting it on skewers.
  • If you don't have zip lock bag use a bowl to marinate.
  • If you like lemony flavor you can enhance it by adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to marinade.
