Description

Paneer Tikka Masala is a rich and creamy North Indian curry featuring grilled paneer cubes in a spiced tomato-based gravy. It’s a vegetarian favorite often enjoyed with naan or rice.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 250g paneer, cubed
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon oil (for grilling paneer)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 2 cups tomato puree
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, turmeric, and red chili powder. Add paneer cubes and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Grill or pan-fry the marinated paneer in oil until golden and set aside.
  3. In a pan, heat butter and sauté chopped onions until soft and golden.
  4. Add garlic and ginger, cook for 1 minute.
  5. Add tomato puree, cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and salt. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the oil starts to separate.
  6. Stir in cream and mix well. Add the grilled paneer cubes and simmer for another 5 minutes.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with naan or rice.

Notes

  • For a smoky flavor, grill the paneer on skewers or use a grill pan.
  • Use cashew paste instead of cream for a vegan/dairy-free alternative with tofu.
  • Adjust spice levels to taste by varying chili powder.
