Method
- Prepare the barbecue for direct heat (for cooking right over the coals; or see alternative cooking instructions below). For the salad, lightly toast the cumin seeds in a dry pan (about 1 minute). Crush in a pestle and mortar, then mix with the onion, lemon juice, garlic and a pinch of salt. Set aside for 15 minutes to quick-pickle, then stir in the sliced cucumbers, mint and yogurt.
- Meanwhile, mix the paneer, ginger, tandoori paste, yogurt, oil and peppers in a bowl with a pinch of salt, ensuring the paneer and peppers are well coated. Thread the paneer, peppers and onions onto skewers, alternating. Drizzle with a little oil, then cook with the BBQ lid down, turning once or twice until the veg are tender and the paneer is a little charred – about 10 minutes.
- Serve the skewers with the cucumber salad and, if you like, rice, poppadums and mint leaves.
