Veggies needn’t feel left out at barbecues with these spiced paneer and new potato kebabs
Prep:35 mins
Serves 6
3 tbsp tikka paste500g tub yogurt2 tsp cumin seedsthumb-size piece fresh root ginger, finely grated250g bag small new potatoes300g paneer cheese, cut into chunks3 red onions, peeled and sliced into wedges through the root2 red peppers, deseeded and cut into chunks5 tbsp mango chutneysmall pack mint leaves, leaves picked250g bag salad leaves12 chapatis
STEP 1Soak 12 wooden skewers in water for 30 mins (this helps to stop them burning). In a large bowl, mix together the tikka paste with half of the yogurt, the cumin, ginger and seasoning. Boil the potatoes in a pan of boiling salted water for 7 mins, then drain well and tip into the tikka mixture with the paneer. Gently mix into the marinade, then chill for at least 2 hrs to take on flavour.STEP 2To assemble the kebabs, alternately thread the marinated potatoes and paneer onto the skewers with the onions and peppers, then cover on a tray until you are ready to barbecue.STEP 3Heat the barbecue or a grill. Mix the mango chutney into the remaining yogurt, and the mint leaves into the salad leaves. Barbecue or grill the kebabs for 10-15 mins, turning, until the veg are charred and softened. With a few minutes to go, add the chapattis to the barbecue in batches to warm through. Serve the kebabs with the minty salad, cooling mango yogurt and chapattis, and let everyone assemble their own wraps.
