Paneer shashlik sizzler is a festive hot-plate meal with spiced paneer skewers, colourful vegetables and buttery rice. It is the kind of restaurant-style dish that looks dramatic at the table yet can be prepared at home in calm, organised stages.

Serves: 4 people

Preparation time: 40 min

Ingredients

  • Paneer – 400 g, cubed
  • Red bell pepper – 1, in chunks
  • Green bell pepper – 1, in chunks
  • Onion – 2, in petals
  • Tomatoes – 2 small
  • Cooked basmati rice – 3 cups
  • Butter – 2 tbsp
  • Soy sauce – 2 tsp
  • Tomato ketchup – 2 tbsp
  • Vinegar – 1 tbsp
  • Garlic – 3 cloves, minced
  • Ginger – 1 tsp, grated
  • Black pepper – 1 tsp
  • Red chilli sauce – 1 tbsp
  • Sesame seeds – 1 tbsp
  • Lettuce leaves – 6
  • Salt – to taste
  • Oil – as needed

Method

step 1
Whisk together ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger, chilli sauce, pepper and a little salt. Toss the paneer, peppers, onion and tomatoes in the marinade and let everything rest for at least 30 minutes so the flavours can settle in.
step 2
Thread the marinated paneer and vegetables onto skewers. Grill them in a hot grill pan or oven until lightly charred at the edges while keeping the paneer soft in the centre.
step 3
Warm the cooked rice in a wide pan with butter, a splash of soy sauce and sesame seeds. Taste and season gently, because the sizzling platter becomes best when each component is seasoned but not overly salty.
step 4
Spread lettuce leaves over a preheated cast-iron platter or a very hot ovenproof pan. Spoon the rice on one side, arrange the skewers and grilled vegetables on top, and drizzle any remaining marinade that has been boiled briefly into a safe glaze.
step 5
Bring the platter to the table while it is still audibly sizzling. Serve straight away so the vegetables stay bright and the rice keeps its buttery fragrance.
