Kitchens of India – Paneer Tikka Masala

This Restaurant Style Paneer Tikka Masala is an extremely delicious, saucy and luscious in every bite. It’s super easy to make and you can freeze the cooked curry up to 2 weeks in an air-tight box.

This healthy vegetarian dinner is a creamy, saucy curry with paneer (if you’ve never had paneer, you’ll love it), and warm spices.

HOW TO MAKE PANEER TIKKA MASALA?

MARINATE PANEER IN SPICED YOGURT:

Marinate the paneer in yogurt and spices. The yogurt helps coat the paneer pieces with spices. When you pan fry the paneer, the yogurt forms a thin crust around the exterior.

PAN FRY THE PANEER:

You can do this step before or while you make the sauce. I usually pan fry the paneer first in batches with a tbsp of butter.

MAKE THE SAUCE:

  • Add butter to the pan and add the Kitchen of India paneer tikka concentrate.
  • Add a cup of water and bring to boil. Then simmer covered for 20 minutes with occasional stirring..
  • Then add the cooked paneer and simmer for 5 mins and add a splash of heavy cream.
  • Finally garnish with fresh cilantro and dish out.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

Serve this Paneer Tikka Masala with garlic naan (or lacha paratha) or plain basmati rice (or jeera rice, peas pulao).
