Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Paneer

    In a bowl, mix yogurt, red chili powder, garam masala, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and salt. Add the paneer cubes and coat them well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

    Prepare the Tikka

    Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated paneer cubes and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same pan, add more oil if needed and sauté chopped onions until translucent. Add ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes

    Pour in the pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil separates from the mixture.

  5. 5

    Combine and Simmer

    Add the cooked paneer back into the pan. Stir in the cream and adjust salt to taste. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes.
