Paneer Tikka Kebabs

Paneer Tikka Kebabs
Paneer is a mild Indian cheese which holds its shape whilst cooking and soaks up the flavour of the spices which makes it ideal for vegetarian recipes. You won't need to marinade for too long either, which makes this dish even more appealing when you're short on time. It's easy to turn into a chicken or prawn dish if you prefer, simply swap the paneer for cubes of chicken or fresh, raw prawns.
