Directions
Step 1Make the dip. In the small bowl of a food processor, whizz the chillies, garlic and coriander with 50g of the yogurt until smooth. Scrape into a serving bowl and mix in the remaining yogurt and some salt. Chill until needed (up to a day ahead, if covered).
Step 2For the kebabs, mix the oil and garam masala with a generous pinch salt in a large bowl. Mix through the paneer, peppers, courgette and spring onions to coat. Thread on to skewers, alternating paneer and vegetables.
Step 3Barbecue/grill skewers over/under medium-high heat for 10-12min, turning often, until lightly charred. Mix the mango chutney with the nigella seeds, if using, and mix in a drop of hot water to loosen. Brush all over the skewers and cook for a further 2-3min, until caramelised. Serve with the dip alongside.
Get ahead: Make the dip up to a day ahead; cover and chill.
