What is grilled paneer
Grilled paneer is a beloved Indian appetizer featuring cubes of paneer cheese and vegetables.
Paneer cheese is ideal for grilling, developing a slightly charred exterior while the inside stays soft and creamy. My BBQ appetizer paneer recipe elevates the paneer with a simple yet flavorful DIY marinade that you’ll love.
