Paneer Tikka Skewers

This is the kind of Indian snack you’ll make on repeat — paneer and yogurt, 30 minutes, big payoff. Each serving lands at 260 calories with 16g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Naturally vegetarian and keto, it scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 8 oz Paneer
• 1/3 cup Yogurt
• 2 tbsp Tikka masala paste
• 1 Bell pepper
• 1/2 Onion

Steps

1. Cut the paneer into 1-inch cubes. Too small and the cubes fall apart on the skewer, too big and the centers stay cold.
2. Whisk the yogurt with the tikka masala paste and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Coat the paneer cubes and marinate 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to 4 hours refrigerated.
3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes so they don{Q}t scorch under the broiler.
4. Thread the paneer onto skewers, alternating with chunks of bell pepper and onion.
5. Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler element and heat the broiler on high.
6. Broil 10 to 12 minutes, turning once halfway, until charred at the edges and the marinade is caramelized. Beginner tip: char is flavor here. Don’t pull them while still pale.
7. Rest 3 minutes, squeeze fresh lemon over the skewers, and serve hot.
