Barbecuing in the broiler: In the stove barbecue for 15 to 20 minutes at 230 or 240 degree celsius with just the top warming component on.
Marination Time: I generally recommend to marinate the paneer blocks for 2 hours or more. You can likewise keep the marinated paneer short-term in the refrigerator. More marination, the better the flavors get imbued in the paneer and veggies.
Vegetables: Add a blend of veggies like chime pepper, onions, tomatoes, child corn, mushrooms, cauliflower, tomatoes, broccoli and so forth. For cauliflower whiten them prior to marinating.

Vegetarian Choices: Use tofu, seitan or tempeh instead of paneer. Utilize a vegetarian yogurt like almond or cashew yogurt instead of dairy yogurt.
