Instructions for Grilled Pesto Paneer Recipe

To begin making the Grilled Pesto Paneer Recipe, make a fine paste of all the ingredients listed in the pesto sauce table using a mixer grinder and keep aside.

In a big bowl, add the paneer cubes, curd and 3 to 4 table spoon on the pesto sauce mix and massage it nicely with hand.

Let the paneer cubes marinate in this mix for an hour. Now heat a grill pan on medium heat, brush it with olive oil and place the paneer cubes gently onto the grill pan.

Alternatively, you can also add the paneer cubes to a skewer and grill it.
