Instructions
For the Paneer
- In a bowl, combine all the marination ingredients - yogurt, ginger paste, garlic paste, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the paneer cubes to the marination and coat them evenly. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- After marination, thread the marinated paneer cubes onto skewers.
- Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the surface with oil to prevent sticking.
- Grill the paneer skewers until they are charred and slightly browned on all sides. This takes about 10-12 minutes. Keep turning the skewers for even cooking. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.
For the Masala Sauce:
- In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
- Stir in the ginger paste and garlic paste. Cook for a minute until the raw smell disappears.
- Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, and paprika. Cook for a couple of minutes to toast the spices.
- Pour in the canned tomato sauce or puree. Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes until the oil starts to separate from the sauce.
- Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Mix well to combine.
- Add salt to taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Gently slide the grilled paneer cubes into the gravy. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld together.
- Once the gravy reaches the desired consistency, turn off the heat.
- Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve hot with naan, roti, or rice.
Notes
- Make sure to marinate the paneer for at least 1 hour for the best flavour.
- Adjust the spice levels according to your preference.
- You can also add a pinch of kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) to enhance the flavour of the gravy.
- This dish pairs well with steamed rice, naan, or paratha. Enjoy your delicious homemade Paneer Tikka Masala!
