2. Slice the paneer into 2 cm cubes, season with salt and red pepper flakes, and place in a bowl. For 30 minutes, soak the bamboo skewers in water.

3. In a big bowl, combine the hanging curd and stir until it’s smooth. Add the oil, ginger-garlic paste, and all the spice powders to the bowl and whisk well to combine all the ingredients.

4. Add the paneer to the marinade, gently combine to combine, and marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.

5. Set the grill to its highest setting, or if you have a tandoor, use it.

Grill for 2 minutes, then gently turn the skewers over and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.

7. Place the skewers on a serving platter, top with lime juice, and serve right away.
