Paneer Tikka Masala Restaurant Style
The Indian dish Paneer Tikka Masala Restaurant Style consists of barbecuing paneer (cottage cheese) and simmering it in a masala sauce.
In Indian cuisine, paneer refers to cottage cheese, tikka refers to a grilled piece of food or a spicy gravy, and masala refers to the spices used in the dish as gravy. As a result, paneer tikka masala is simply chunks of Indian cheese grilled in spicy gravy.

INGREDIENTS
Step 1
The first step is to make thick yogurt. Let the liquid from the 14% plain yogurt drip down for 30 minutes through a fine-mesh strainer. Two tablespoons of thick yogurt can be obtained from it. To accelerate the process, Greek yogurt can be used. In a large mixing bowl, combine thick yogurt, ginger garlic paste, lime juice, chickpea flour, Kashmiri red chili powder, salt to taste, Kasuri methi garam masala spice mix, and mustard oil. Stir everything together well.
Step 2
Wipe a 600 g paneer block dry with a kitchen towel after washing it with water. Make cubes of paneer with 2-inch squares. Remove the peel from one large onion and cut it into cubes of 2 inches. The green bell pepper or red bell pepper should also be washed and cut into cubes of 2 inches. Mix the paneer cubes, green bell pepper cubes, and onion cubes gently so all the ingredients are coated with the marinade. The bowl should be covered and refrigerated for at least 2 hours.
Step 3
Take out after 1 hour from the fridge.
Step 4
A large skillet over medium-high heat should be heated with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons ghee. Ghee tastes delicious and is not too heavy, so I like to combine oil and ghee. It is possible to use either oil or ghee. Cook the paneer cubes along with the onion and capsicum in the wide pan
