Ingredients

  • 200 g vegan cheese (firm, cut into 1‑inch cubes)
  • 1 red bell pepper (cut into 1‑inch pieces)
  • 1 green bell pepper (cut into 1‑inch pieces)
  • 3 tbsp plain soy yogurt
  • 2 tsp tandoori masala
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp ginger‑garlic paste
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp chili powder(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine soy yogurt, tandoori masala, lemon juice, ginger‑garlic paste, olive oil, salt, and optional chili powder to form a smooth marinade.

  2. 2

    Add the vegan cheese cubes and bell pepper pieces to the bowl, toss gently to coat, and let marinate for 5‑7 minutes while you pre‑heat a grill pan or broiler.

  3. 3

    Thread the marinated cheese and peppers onto skewers, alternating pieces for even cooking.

  4. 4

    Grill or broil the skewers on medium‑high heat for about 7‑8 minutes, turning once, until the cheese is lightly charred and the peppers are tender‑crisp.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat, drizzle with a little extra lemon juice if desired, and serve hot.
