This is one of my go to recipes when I want something impressive but don't have much time. The beauty of these skewers is that they come together in under an hour, making them perfect for weeknight dinners or casual entertaining. Paneer is wonderfully high in protein, so you get a really satisfying meal that keeps you full. The combination of creamy paneer with caramelized plantain is absolutely magical on the grill, and the garam masala gives everything this warm, aromatic depth. Best part? These skewers are budget friendly and require just a handful of ingredients you probably already have on hand.
