INGREDIENTS

 

250 gms of cottage cheese

1 pc. fresh capsicum (25 gms)

1 pc. green chilly

25 gms fresh ginger

2-3 small garlic pieces (5 gms)

2 tsp corn-flour

1 tsp salt

3 ml edible color (green) or 20 gms mint leaves paste 

100 gm fresh curd, 

1/4 teaspoon of black-grounded Pepper

10 ml cooking oil

1 tsp chat masala

Freshly chopped coriander or dried grounded mint leaves

METHOD

 

Cut the cheese into 10 equal pieces (Cubes), grate the fresh capsicum, along with fresh ginger, green chilly and garlic and add to curd along with the corn flour, salt, pepper, color and or mint leave paste (chutney). 

Pour the mentioned ingredients in a bowl and whip/beat for about 8 minutes till you get a thick green evenly whipped paste. 

Pierce fine holes (5-6) on the cheese cubicles with a matchstick/toothpick. Marinate the cheese cubicles in the paste for about 6 hrs. 

Put the marinated cheese cubicles on the skewer sticks of your tandoor oven or OTG and barbeque for about 20 minutes at temp. of 250 -300 degrees centigrade. 

Put a few drops of cooking oil/butter on the cheese if you like the cheese to be brown and crispier!! 

One can also cook this in the microwave oven. (For best results, earthen oven is recommended). The OTG results are equally good!! 

Garnish the barbequed cheese with sprinkled chat masala, grounded dry mint leaves or freshly chopped coriander. One can finely chop green cabbage leaves with fresh carrot to decorate and serve the juicy capsicum flavored cheese cubicles with fresh lime and chutney/ketchup!! 

 

Serves: 3-4 persons
