Assemble the Skewers:

Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes if using.

Thread paneer and vegetables alternately onto the skewers.

Grill the Tikkas:

Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium heat. You can also use an oven preheated to 200°C (390°F).

Lightly brush or spray the grill with oil.

Place the skewers on the grill and cook on each side for 3-4 minutes until the paneer is lightly charred and vegetables are tender.

If using an oven, place skewers on a baking tray lined with foil and bake for 15 minutes, turning halfway.

Serve:

Remove from heat and serve hot with mint chutney and lemon wedges.
