Pesto Paneer Skewers | Paneer Seekh | Cottage Cheese Pesto Skewers

Happy Diwali everybody!! This is my first post in a long time. Had a lot of stuff to post but couldn’t get time to, lots of distractions? blah!!

Pesto paneer skewers is a perfect fusion appetizer/ party snack that can be made within 30 min.

I made these a while back and my family loved it. Me and my family is sorta in love with pesto and I don’t like versions. Pesto means basil pesto. Fresh fragrance from basil instantly wakes me up. I made pesto specially for this recipe but if you have some leftover you have to try this.

Cottage cheese/ paneer works best in this recipe as its creamy and compliments the very less cheese I put in pesto.

I once bought a jar of pesto thinking I wanna taste how the original stuff taste and ended up regretting it!! Its was oily, bitter and darker in color; nothing like I expected. Make you own, its the best.( Learn here how)

Coming back to recipe, its the easiest kind. Just mix, wait a little and grill. Its like a party food. You can also are arrange them in toothpicks, spray some oil on them and broil till you get a lovely char. I was in the grilling mood so used my grill pan and stove top it was.
