Notes/Tips
. If you are frying them then just sprinkle some corn flour over the marinated paneer and veggies. Now shallow fry the paneer along with the skewer for 2-3 mins or until cooked. This process will help the paneer not to stick to the bottom. You could marinate paneer and keep overnight for better results. But leave them in the fridge if marinating for a longer time
