Paneer Tikka Butter Masala
Added: 6th Oct, 2006 | Viewed 11279 times | |
This was and still remains my brother's favourite restaurant food. The paneer is quite melt-in-the-mouth and the sauce is rich and bursting with flavour. After testing and experimenting with several recipes, I felt this one came the closest to the ones available commercially in Indian restaurants.
 
Prep & Cooking Time: 35 mins
Serves 2
  Vegetarian  From My Recipe Book
Ingredients
   75g paneer, diced
   100g tomato puree
   2 tbsp butter
   1/2 cup cream
   2 tsp red chilli powder
   1 tsp turmeric powder
   1 tsp coriander powder
   1 tsp cumin powder
   1/4 tsp nutmeg, ground
   1 tsp garam masala
   1 tsp kasuri methi [dried fenugreek leaves]
   salt to taste
   1/4 cup cashewnuts
   juice of 1 lemon
   2 green chillies, finely chopped
   1/4 cup coriander leaves, chopped
   1/4 cup yoghurt
Method



Prepare Tikka Masala by mixing yoghurt, red chilli powder, garam masala, salt and lemon juice in a bowl and mixing well. Rub masala over paneer pieces and place the pieces on a lined baking tray. Pop into a preheated oven at 200oC for 5-8 minutes. Set aside.

In a kadai [wok] melt the butter and add the tomato puree. Add green chillies, coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, kasuri methi, nutmeg and salt. Saute for a few seconds on high. Add cream gradually and cook, stirring occasionally for about 6-8 minutes till the sauce leaves the sides of the pan. Add the grilled paneer to the gravy, toss gently and serve hot garnished with coriander leaves and chopped cashewnuts.
