Cubes of low-fat paneer marinated in yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, cumin and chili, then threaded with bell pepper and onion and grilled until lightly charred. Served with lemon, this lighter take on tandoori skewers uses reduced-fat paneer to cut calories while keeping the smoky, spiced character intact.
