Cut the yellow bell pepper in the same manner.

Thread a zigzag piece of bell pepper onto the skewer, and gently push it down.

Take a piece of paneer, and pierce it gently to avoid breaking.

Then take a piece of onion, and pierce it through the center, making sure not to split it.

Continue threading veggies and paneer, alternating between the two, for a colourful and balanced skewer.

At the end, take the triangular piece of paneer. Thread it onto the skewer.

Make the rest of the skewers in the same manner.

Place a roast grill/jali over the burner. Brush it with oil.

Place the paneer tikka skewers over the grill.
