Spiced Paneer Protein Skewers

Ingredients

• 150 g paneer (cubed)
• 100 g low-fat Greek yogurt
• 50 g red bell pepper (chunked)
• 50 g red onion (chunked)
• 1 tsp garam masala
• 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

1. 1

   Whisk the low-fat Greek yogurt with the garam masala and lemon juice in a medium bowl to create a marinade.

2. 2

   Toss the cubed paneer, red bell pepper, and red onion into the yogurt mixture until evenly coated, letting it rest for 15 minutes.

3. 3

   Thread the marinated paneer and vegetables alternately onto a wooden or metal skewer.

4. 4

   Grill or pan-fry the skewers over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until the paneer is charred and crispy.

Nutrition Notes

Rich in casein protein from the paneer and Greek yogurt, this vegetarian snack provides a steady release of amino acids to combat muscle breakdown without relying on meat.

Tips

• →Soak the wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning on the heat.
• →The yogurt marinade tenderises the paneer, so leaving it overnight in the fridge will amplify the flavours if preparing ahead.
