Other Ingredients
20 low fat paneer (cottage cheese) , cut into 25 mm. (1”) cubes

Method
For the barbeque sauce

Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan, bring to a boil and simmer for about 6 to 7 minutes. Keep aside.

How to proceed

Combine all the ingredients along with ¼ cup of barbeque sauce in a bowl, toss gently and keep aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Arrange the paneer cubes equally on four satay sticks and keep aside.
Heat on a non-stick tava (griddle) and cook all the satays, using 1 tsp of oil, till the paneer turns light brown in colour on all the sides.
Serve hot with the remaining ¼ cup of barbeque sauce.
