Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz (1 lb) Paneer (cubed into 1-inch pieces)
  • 1 large Red Bell Pepper (cut into chunks)
  • 1 large Green Bell Pepper (cut into chunks)
  • 1 large Red Onion (cut into thick wedges)
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt (plain, full-fat)
  • 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil or Ghee (melted)
  • 1 tablespoon Garam Masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Kashmiri Red Chili Powder (or Paprika)
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumi
  • 1 tablespoon Ginger-Garlic Paste
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh Cilantro (chopped) for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, oil, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, and all the dry spices. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Coat the Ingredients: Add the cubed paneer, bell peppers, and red onions to the bowl. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Let it Rest (Optional): If time allows, let the mixture marinate for 20 to 30 minutes.
  5. Arrange on the Pan: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Spread the mixture in a single layer.
  6. Roast: Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  7. Broil for the Finish: Turn the oven to 'Broil' for the last 2 to 3 minutes to achieve charred spots.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

Notes

Make sure to pat the paneer dry before cubing. Cut vegetables and paneer into uniform sizes for even cooking. Preheat the baking sheet for better browning.
