Ingredients
- 2 cups of cubed paneer
- 1/2 cup of plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of ginger garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon of garam masala
- 1 teaspoon of cumin powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons of oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 tomato, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- Salt to taste
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the cubed paneer, yogurt, lemon juice, ginger garlic paste, garam masala, cumin powder, turmeric powder, chili powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix together until the spices are evenly distributed. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to combine and the paneer to marinate.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until it starts to turn golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the marinated paneer and cook until it is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomato, sugar, and salt and cook until the tomato is softened and the mixture is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the heavy cream and stir to combine. Cook until the sauce is thickened and the paneer is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Serve the Tikka Masala with steamed rice, naan, or roti.
