                        Paneer Tikka Masala

Paneer tikka masala is an amazing mouthwatering dish, and a wonderful dish for any kind of formal dinner or occasion. Paneer tikka masala is a vegetarian alternative to chicken tikka masala, it is a similar but even better, high in protein dish.

Paneer tikka masala cooked in reddish orange thick spicy gravy which not only appealing to look at but very tempting to eat. Here is a spicy, tempting recipe of Paneer tikka masala. In this recipe first chunks of paneer marinated in yogurt and spices and then grilled, and then cooked in the spicy rich gravy which is made with cashews, tomatoes, onion and aromatic spices, and to enhance the flavor kasoori methi (fenugreek leaves) added to the sauce. 
Grilling or roasting the chunks of paneer inhence the flavor of the dish. 

Traditionally paneer is grilled in tandoor but paneer tikka is very versatile, it can be grilled on gas grill, baked in oven or even pan fried. Paneer tikka can be served without the gravy as a snack or could use as a filling for a Kati kebab. 

The gravy gets its red, orange color from red food dye. We are not that big on food dyes here, so we’ve skipped it, but if you must have your curry looks orange red then feel free to add a bit of red food dye or add sufficient amount of Kashmiri chili powder which is not hot but it will give the color.

Ingredients for paneer marinade: 

1     Block of paneer (1 pound)
2    Tablespoons Besan (gram flour)
½    Tablespoon minced garlic
½    Tablespoon of grated ginger
2     Teaspoon lemon juice
1     Cup plain yogurt  (Thick hung yogurt or Greek style preferred)
​1     Teaspoon red chili powder or to your taste
                                                         
½    Teaspoon garam masala or to your taste      
2     Teaspoon crushed kasuri methi  (dry fenugreek leaves)                                
1     Teaspoon salt or to your taste  
½    Teaspoon turmeric powder
2     Tablespoons melted butter or ghee                        
  Few drops of red color (optional)

 Directions for baking the paneer tikkas:

Traditionally Paneer tikkas are grilled in tandoor but most of us do not have tandoor, instead you can grill them outdoor on the barbecue grill to give the smoky flavor or you can bake them in oven or shallow fry them in a frying pan, either way they taste delicious. (See the recipe of paneer tikka) 

1.  On medium heat add 2 tablespoon of oil in a wide nonstick frying pan or use
      regular tawa and add more oil while shallow frying to prevent it from
      sticking. 

2.  Spread the paneer pieces in a single layer in the pan and sauté 1 to 2 minutes
      each side.

3. Once paneer become golden brown from both sides take the Paneer pieces out and place them in a plate over paper towel so that extra oil is absorbed. Once all the paneer sautéed keep them aside.  You could also grill the Paneer on Grill or in the Oven. (Sauté paneer in batches few pieces at a time)
