Method :

Whisk the yogurt in a bowl, add all the above listed spices, ginger garlic paste, lime juice, salts and ½ Tbsp. oil . Use your hand to mix well.  You may like to check for seasoning at this point , adjust as required. Now add the diced vegetables (onion, capsicum) and Paneer cubes . Make sure the marinade coats the veggies and paneer evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate it for at least few hours. I keep it for overnight. Prepare your charcoal barbeque, skew the marinated paneer, capsicum and onions on  red hot charcoal grill . Flip , check it the  grilling is even , in between coat  ghee or oil on the grilling veggies etc.  Once you get charred marks on the paneer etc., its time to take it off from heat and serve hot with mint –yogurt chutney and onion rings.
