This is one of my favorite go to dishes when I want something satisfying but don't have much time. Grilled paneer with onion comes together in less than an hour and uses simple ingredients you probably already have at home. Paneer is packed with protein and calcium, making it wonderfully filling, while the charred onions add a sweet caramelized flavor. The best part is how forgiving this recipe is. Just marinate your paneer cubes and onion wedges in a zesty blend of lemon juice and warm spices, then pop them on the grill. You'll have a delicious vegetarian main course that feels special but requires barely any fuss.
