Made with Paneer, a fresh Indian pressed cheese, this is a vegetarian version of the famous Chicken Tikka Masala. Incredibly easy to make, packed with the goodness of paneer and sumptuousness of Masala Mama’s Tikka Masala sauce. It’s a total winner! —MasalaMama
Ingredients
-
1
jar Masala Mama Tikka Masala Simmer Sauce https://food52.com/shop...
-
2 tablespoons
oil
-
14 ounces
Paneer, cubed
-
¼ teaspoons
red pepper flakes (optional, for additional heat)
-
¼ cups
cream or coconut milk (more for a creamier sauce)
-
Cilantro for garnish
-
Salt to taste
Directions
-
Heat oil in a large saucepan or dutch oven over medium heat. Add paneer and sear until lightly brown on the sides, approximately 3-5 minutes.
-
Add Masala Mama Tikka Masala Simmer Sauce using 2 tablespoons of stock or water to rinse out any remaining sauce in the jar and adding along with red pepper flakes, and cream/coconut milk. Simmer uncovered over medium-low heat until the Paneer is heated through and tender, about 5 minutes. The sauce should have the consistency of split pea soup. If too thick add some stock or water.
-
Adjust salt to taste, garnish with cilantro and serve with rice or Naan. Here’s a recipe for Mama’s Perfect Basmati Rice. If using naan, I love heating it in a cast iron skillet or directly on the flame until it gets a few brown spots then topping it with some butter.
