Ingredients

  • • 400g paneer, cut into thick cubes
  • • 1/2 cup thick fresh cream
  • • 2 tbsp cashew paste
  • • 1 tbsp ginger paste
  • • 2 green chilies, finely minced
  • • 1/2 tsp green cardamom powder

Preparation Steps

1
Phase 1

Whisk the cream with cashew paste, ginger, green chilies, cardamom, white pepper and salt into a thick coating.

2
Phase 2

Gently fold the paneer cubes through the marinade so they do not break; rest 1 hour.

3
Phase 3

Thread the paneer cubes onto skewers with a gentle twist.

4
Phase 4

Grill over medium heat so the cream crust sets without burning, turning often.

5
Phase 5

Baste with butter and cook until lightly golden at the edges.

6
Phase 6

Serve hot straight off the skewers with mint chutney.
