Steps

45-50 minutes

1

Tie the yogurt in a muslin cloth and hang it for 2-3 hours to drain the water. Once drained, open the cloth.
2

Gather all the ingredients for the marinade. Cut the paneer into cubes, sprinkle a little salt and red chili powder on them, and coat all sides. Cover and let the paneer rest for 15-20 minutes.
3

In the thick yogurt, mix in cornstarch, all-purpose flour, salt, red chili powder, garam masala, dried fenugreek leaves, turmeric powder, roasted cumin powder, coriander powder, ground ginger, and the chili oil (after soaking for 1 hour). Mix all the spices by hand. Cut the green, yellow, and red bell peppers, tomato (without seeds and juice), and cabbage into cubes.
4

Coat the paneer and all the vegetable pieces evenly with the prepared marinade and let them rest for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a green chutney with cilantro and mint.
5

Thread the marinated paneer and vegetables onto skewers in any order. Wipe the skewers with a tissue to remove excess marinade to prevent burning. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle, drizzle a little oil, and grill the skewers on low heat, turning them to cook all sides evenly.
6

Grill any leftover vegetable and paneer pieces on the pan after cubing them and marinating. Arrange them on a plate. After grilling the paneer tikka skewers on all sides, place them on a plate, sprinkle with chaat masala and chopped cilantro, and serve the hot Jain Paneer Tikka with green chutney.

मै मूल रूप से राजस्थान से हूं और मुझे पढ़ने और पढ़ाने का शौक है। यही कारण है कि MA, MPhil, Aacharya, PhD करने के बाद भी अभी जैन दर्शन में शास्त्री कर रही हूं। पर जब भी खाना बनाती हूं तो वो भी पूरे दिल और दिमाग से बनाती हूं। जैन भजन या प्रवचन चलाकर मै कुकिंग करना पसंद करती हूं। मै जैन डाइट का पालन करती हूं , इसलिए जैन रेसीपी ही बनाती हूं। मैं सभी मसाले, आटा, बेसन भी घर पर ही स्वयं बनाती हूं। ये सभी चीजे क्योंकि ताजा ही होते हैं इसलिए मेरा जैन फूड मेरे परिवार, दोस्तो को बहुत पसंद आता है। मेरे अपार्टमेंट में मेरे हाथ की बनाई मिठाईयां बहुत प्रसिद्ध है। लोग उनका मुझे ऑर्डर भी देते हैं। स्वास्थ्य ठीक रहा तो उन लोगो को जरूर बना कर देती हूं। मै बहुत सारे कुकिंग शो सालो से देखती आ रही हूं पर रेसीपी अपने तरीके से अपने परिवार के हिसाब से बनाती हूं और अब वही लिख देती हूं। मेरा पूरा प्रयास रहता है कि जो भी रेसीपी लिखूं तो वो अपने आप में पूर्ण हो और उसको देखकर बनाने वाले को, बनाने में आसानी हो। रेसिपी लिखते ज्यादा समय नहीं हुआ है। मार्च 2020 से cookpad की सदस्या बनने के बाद से ही हिन्दी में रेसीपी लिखना शुरू किया है।
