Paneer Tikka

Paneer Tikka is a quick and easy recipe made in just 20 minutes. I make this as a quick snack.

This mouthwatering Paneer Tikka Masala features soft, marinated paneer cubes simmered in a creamy, spiced tomato-based gravy. Infused with Usha’s Kitchen Tikka Masala Spice Blend, this dish perfectly balances tangy, savory, and aromatic flavors, creating a restaurant-quality meal right in your kitchen. Serve it hot with naan or basmati rice for a comforting and authentic Indian dining experience.

If you want vegetables you can repeat this recipe using bell peppers and onions and then combine the two. Skewer them and put them on the grill or broil them in the oven.

Note

Repeat this recipe using 1 bell pepper and 1 small red onion if you want vegetables with your paneer. 

Alternatively you can skewer these paneer  and the vegetables after you soak the paneer, and sprinkle them with Tikka Masala Powder. Don't forget to soak your wooden skewers so they don't burn. Spray or drizzle a little olive oil on them and grill for 6 minutes turning frequently.

These skewers can be baked as well in an oven on hi broil for 6-8 minutes turning mid way.
