No Sour Curd

Do not use very sour curd for marination, as it doesn’t stick to paneer. Mildly tangy curd is preferred.

Marinade Overnight

Marination is key, so marinate your paneer well and keep it overnight. If you do not have so much time, make sure you marinate for 2 hours at least before grilling.

Mustard Oil Magic

Adding mustard oil to the marinade helps add a lovely pungent flavour and enhances cooking

Oil Before Grilling

Brush the paneer and veggies before grilling too because they end up becoming dry in the process.

Don't Use Excess Spices

Salt and red chilli powder are generally the only two spices needed. Too many spices can overwhelm the flavour

Don't Overcook

Overcooking will give you rubbery and hard paneer pieces. Generally, 20 minutes of grilling is enough.
