Instructions

In a bowl, mix yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt to make a marinade.

Cut the paneer and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat an oven to 200°C (400°F) or heat a grill pan on medium-high heat.

Skewer the marinated paneer and bell peppers alternately on skewers. Grill or roast for about 15-20 minutes until slightly charred and cooked through.

In a large pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent.

Add the tomato puree and cook until it thickens and the oil starts to separate.

Stir in the cream, remaining spices, and the grilled paneer. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes on low heat.

Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with naan or rice.
