Peri Peri Paneer & Veggies Recipe | Easy Spicy Sizzler

Peri Peri Paneer and Veggies is a bold vegetarian dish made with paneer and colourful vegetables coated in a tangy Peri Peri marinade. Nairuti Peri Peri Masala brings chilli heat, herbs and savoury flavour, while high-heat cooking adds a lightly charred finish.

Ingredients

• 300 g paneer, cut into cubes
• 1 medium capsicum, cut into cubes
• 1 medium onion, cut into petals
• 1 cup tomato or cherry tomatoes
• 2 tbsp Nairuti Peri Peri Masala
• 3 tbsp thick curd
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1½ tbsp oil
• Salt as required
• Fresh coriander and lemon wedges for serving

Method

1. Prepare the paneer and vegetables. Cut them into similar-sized pieces.
2. Make the marinade. Mix thick curd, Nairuti Peri Peri Masala, lemon juice, oil and salt until smooth.
3. Coat and marinate. Toss the paneer and vegetables gently in the marinade. Rest for 15 to 20 minutes if time allows.
4. Arrange for cooking. Thread onto skewers or spread in a single layer on a hot grill pan, tawa, oven tray or air-fryer basket.
5. Cook until lightly charred. Turn occasionally until the paneer is lightly golden and the vegetables have roasted edges while retaining some bite.
6. Finish and serve. Add a little extra Peri Peri Masala only if you want a stronger finish, then add coriander and lemon.

Serving Ideas

Serve as a party starter, use in wraps or sandwiches, or add to a rice bowl with fresh salad.

Tips

• Use thick curd to prevent a watery marinade.
• Do not overcook the paneer.
• Keep capsicum and onion slightly crisp.
• Taste before adding extra seasoning at the end.
