Zucchini & Paneer Grilled Kebabs

Zucchini & Paneer Grilled Kebabs bring together the freshness of zucchini and the richness of paneer in a simple yet flavorful dish. The mild taste of zucchini pairs beautifully with the creamy, slightly chewy texture of paneer when marinated in a yogurt-spice blend. These kebabs are healthy, protein-rich, and can be cooked on a grill, in an oven, or even on a stovetop grill pan.

The marinade is key—it combines yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, and classic Indian spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder. This ensures that the vegetables and paneer absorb a tangy, smoky, and mildly spiced flavor. Grilling gives them a charred edge while keeping the inside soft and juicy.

These kebabs can be served as starters with mint chutney or as part of a wholesome meal with roti and dal. Since zucchini cooks quickly, it retains a slight crunch, complementing the soft paneer. For extra texture, bell peppers or onions can also be added to the skewers.

This dish works well for vegetarians looking for a healthy protein option and can be enjoyed guilt-free since it uses minimal oil. It’s a great choice for summer barbecues, weeknight dinners, or festive gatherings.
