Method
 

  1. Take a big glass bowl (try to use glass bowl for marination purpose)
  2. Whisk yogurt until its smooth .
  3. Add Coriander powder,Red chili powder ,ginger garlic paste ,chat masala,garam masala and kasoori methi .Mix it really well in the yogurt.
  4. Don't use salt and oil at this time because salt will release water and oil makes coating on the vegetable and because of that marination doesnt go inside.
  5. Now add cubed Paneer ,onion and vegetable pieces to it . Mix it nicely.Cover it .
  6. Keep it in the refrigerator for marinating,at least for 1 hour.
  7. After 1 or 2 hour take it out and mix oil and salt . leave it on the counter for 15 minutes and mean while preheat the oven to 425 f.
  8. Take large metal skewers and arrange cubes of paneer and veggies.If using bamboo skewers soak them into the cold water for few hours.
  9. Try to make all the skewers similar in look.
  10. Before putting the tray in the oven check that you have lined the tray with parchment paper so that it wont stick to the pan.
  11. Bake at 425 f for 8-10 minutes . (if you bake for moe time it will be chewy.
  12. Then turn on the broiler and broil it for 4-5 minutes or till get charr marks , (remember to keep eye during this process and remove it before it turns too much charred.
  13. Remove from oven ,place it into your serving tray . Squeeze ½ of the lemon juice and serve with mint chutney and onion slices.
