  5. Take one bamboo skewer at a time and pierce in the marinated vegetables and paneer alternatively.

  6. Place the skewers onto the wire grill tray and slide it on to the top rack position in the oven. Place a drip/crumb tray at the bottom to collect any juices that may fall off the skewers.

  7. Set the oven to broil/roast/grill mode and allow the skewers to grill at 250 degrees C for 6-7 minutes, before basting with oil and lemon juice. Ensure that you turn the skewers every 2 minutes, carefully, using mittens, till they are evenly cooked on all sides.
