Sweet Potato Paneer Skewers — perfect for Navratri, these are grilled to golden brown perfection and covered in a chatpata marinade! Paired with a slightly sweet yogurt and a bold green chutney, it’s almost like a chaat—but better!

Sabudana is a classic during fasting but sometimes I get tired of it for every meal. The sweet potato and paneer make this meal filling and a good source of protein!

WATCH HOW TO MAKE SWEET POTATO PANEER SKEWERS:

For a simple marinade, I mixed together some peanut oil, buna jeera, amchur, salt, and black pepper. This turns out so flavorful!

On a hot pan, we’ll place our skewers and brush them with our marinade on all sides. Make sure you’re generous here. Now we’ll let these get a lovely golden brown char and we’re ready to assemble!

I love serving these in a chaat-inspired way so I spread some khatta-meetha yogurt and green chutney on the base. Top this off with our skewers, some masala, nuts for some crunch, and pomegranate!

And there you go, your light and easy Navratri meal is ready in no time!

Instructions

1. On a wooden skewer, arrange your cubes of sweet potato and paneer. For each skewer, I had two cubes of potato and one cube of paneer. Once you’ve made your skewers, set them aside.

2. For the marinade, mix together all of your ingredients until they are well combined.

3. Heat a griddle on medium heat and grease it with oil or ghee. Then, start grilling your skewers and brush the marinade onto them. Make sure to be generous with the amount of marinade you are putting onto the skewers. After a few minutes, turn your skewers and reapply the marinade until all the sides are cooked and golden brown.

4. To assemble, lay down a layer of yogurt, then mint chutney, and, finally, your skewers. Garnish with spices, green chilies, mixed nuts and pomegranate seeds. Your Sweet Potato Paneer Skewers are ready, enjoy!
