Paneer Tikka Masala




Paneer is loved by all in my family. We love all the different varieties of gravy dishes made using paneer. But my husband likes only Paneer Tikka.

I tried different dishes using paneer, hoping that he would like any of them. But he sticked on to Paneer Tikka all the time. When I saw this recipe, I thought to give it a try as he likes tikka, he might like this gravy too... and yes!!! he liked it a lot.

By the time I am posting this recipe, I have prepared this dish more than 3 times. It is a perfect combo with roti or naan. It tastes authentic and restaurant style. Try it out and let me know how you liked it.
