## Directions
|
|
|
|
1. Take a glass container, and mix the cubed paneers with half a tea spoon of red chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder, fenugreek powder, and 50g yogurt.
|
|
2. Let the mix marinade for at least an hour.

|
|
3. Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F), and place the marinated paneer cubes, with onion, capsicum, and tomato on the skewers. Let them grill in the oven using skewer support, by continuously flipping them every 5 minutes until the outer crust looks crispy enough.
|
|
4. Start heating some oil in a pan to add some cardamom and cumin seeds. Let it heat until the flavour is transfused for about a minute or two.
|
|
5. Now add chopped onions and tomatoes to the sautee. Add some shaved ginger and garlic paste and let it sauté until some raw flavour disappears.
|
|
6. Add the tomato purée, dry fenugreek leaves, and let it cook for about 15 minutes.
|
|
7. As the spice and tomato purée looks cooked, add some water to the mixture and let it cook more.

|
|
8. Now add the grilled paneer, some chopped vegetables of choice, corn and stir the mixture well.
|
|
9. One the added water seems to be evaporated, and the mixture looks a little thicker, turn off the heat and garnish with lemon juice, fresh coriander. (It can be served with bread of any preference.)
