Paneer Tikka Masala Curry

Paneer Tikka Masala is a very famous Indian curry dish. A preparation where marinated and grilled Paneer also known as cottage cheese is simmered in creamy-spicy onion-tomato based gravy. Along with Paneer I like to have diced onion and bell pepper tikka also in my curry. The recipe ingredients list and preparation might look long and time consuming but trust me many things go side by side while in making. Originally “Tikkas” are cooked in Tandoor which gives a subtle smoky charcoal flavor to the dish.  For this recipe I have grilled marinated paneer and veggies on tawa which taste equally good. This dish goes very well with any variety of Indian bread and steamed rice. Give it a try and Enjoy!!!
