Achari Paneer Tikka Masala Recipe

Recipe By Bethica Das

#Paneer - Paneer Tikka Masala is a yummy and flavorful Paneer gravy dish found in most of the Indian restaurants and dhabas. This is a vegetarian version of the universally popular chicken tikka masala. It literally translates to marinated grilled cottage cheese in a spicy tomato-yoghurt based gravy. However, I gave a slight twist to the recipe by adding some homemade grated mango pickle masala for some achari flavour. I made use of some yoghurt instead of cream, to give a healthy touch to some extent. This is a soul satisfying comfort food, a weekend menu and a great party recipe too. You can enjoy it with butter naan, tandoori roti, kulcha, pulao, jeera rice or plain biryani for a nice satisfying meal.
