Hi,
I know I promised to be more regular however certain bad things happened as I got delayed in posting my recipes. My mum suffered from a heart attack on 20th of December 2014 which shocked me to the core. Later on as the medical investigations were carried out we found out she had high creatinine and uric acid levels, due to which she had gout attacks. The last gout attack kept her bed ridden for 3 weeks. Now, just as she was improving my maternal grandfather passed away on 23rd January 2015. This was a huge setback for me as he was a father figure to me and had practically raised me and was a huge source of strength and support for me.
So anyways inspite of the bad times life goes on and in order to make my mum's life style healthy I have decided to give some yummy recipes a little healthy twist :) So I decided to make Paneer or cottage cheese Tikkas in the oven in a healthy and less oil method. The key to this recipe is marination, the longer the better.
P.S. Sorry for the quality of the pictures as they were taken by my phone camera :)

The key to this recipe is marination, the longer the better.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 LARGE GREEN BELL PEPPER
- 3 RED ONIONS
- 2 TOMATOES
- 150g FRESH PANEER OR COTTAGE CHEESE
- 11/2 TBSP OF SHEEKH KEBAB MASALA
- 2 TBSP YOGURT
- 1/2 TBSP VEGETABLE OIL
- JUICE OF 1 LIME
PROCEDURE:
- Put the sheekh kebab masala in the yogurt and mix well. as I was pressed for time I used store bought masala. If you are using store bought masala then you will not require any extra salt.
- Dice the vegetables and paneer in to big pieces and put them in a large bowl.
- Now marinate them with the yogurt spice mix, oil and lime jiuce. You can use olive oil instead of vegetable oil.Key to this recipe is marination. Since a tiny amount of oil is used the longer you marinate the better the flavours. You can marinate this overnight if you can or for at least half an hour to an hour.
- Preheat the oven for 10 mins. Line a baking pan with aluminium foil. this eases the process of cleaning. Then put the vegetables and paneer in wooden skewers and put them in the pan.
- Put it in the oven at 200 degree centigrade for 25 -30 mins, do check in between to achieve the amount of char you desire.
- Remove them gently from the skewers when done and garnish them with onion rings and slit green chillis. Serve with mint chutney :)
Do try this recipe , as its a healthy alternative to the kebabs we get from restaurants.
