1. Prepare the chaat masala and the paneer cheese. Then, in a food processor, process together the cashews, green chili peppers, ginger, onion, and cilantro until fine. Then add the paneer cheese and all the remaining ingredients (except the flour, butter, chaat masala, and lettuce) and process until everything is well mixed and starts to gather together, about 1 minute.
2. Preheat a grill to 375°F to 400°F or preheat the broiler. Moisten your clean fingers with water, and divide the mixture into 12 to 15 equal parts, making long, thin shapes, similar to hot dogs. If the mixture seems too soft to work with, mix in some all-purpose flour, using as much as needed to make a soft dough that holds its shape.
3. Thread onto the skewers and grill or broil on the top rack (about 6 inches from the heating element), turning frequently, until firm and lightly golden. (Do not overcook, or they will become tough.)
4. Heat the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, mix in 1 teaspoon chaat masala and lightly baste the kabaabs just before removing them from the heat. Transfer to a platter lined with the lettuce, sprinkle the 1/4 teaspoon chaat masala on top, and serve.
