- Stand the paneer on its side and use a bread knife to carefully halve it, so you end up with 2 large pieces. Mix together 1 tbsp yogurt, the lemon juice, curry powder and turmeric with some seasoning. Coat the paneer well in the yogurt sauce and leave to marinate for 1 hr (or for up to 24 hrs).
- Score a criss-cross pattern on the cut side of the courgettes. Brush with oil and season with salt.
- Barbecue the courgette halves for 16-18 mins, turning halfway, until tender. Lift the paneer from the sauce and barbecue for 8-12 mins, brushing often with the remaining yogurt sauce and turning until charred. (Alternatively, grill or griddle the paneer and courgettes for 5-8 mins each side.)
- Halve each paneer slice diagonally, then arrange on top of the soft courgettes. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tbsp yogurt and scatter with mint leaves to serve.
