Blogging Marathon# 45: Week 2/ Day 3 Theme: North Indian Side dishes Dish: Kashmiri Tikka Masala After making Lucknowi dal and Punjabi Kadhi Pakora for the first 2 days of North Indian side dishes, for the final day this week's BM, I made a spicy Kashmiri Paneer Tikka masala. I actually made all of the dishes on the same day and they can all be served together as part of a North Indian meal/ thali along with simple jeera rice or roti.

Method

  1. Marinate Paneer: In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients for the marinade and mix well. Add the paneer pieces and mix to coat. Set aside for at least 30 minutes or longer.
  2. Make the Tikka Masala/ Sauce: Heat 2tbsp ghee in a saucepan. Add the onion, bell pepper, almonds and raisins; cook until the veggies soften and are lightly browned around the edges, about 10~12 minutes.
  3. Add the tomatoes and cook for 3~4 minutes.
  4. Pour the onion-tomato mixture into a blender and grind into a thick sauce along with cream, salt and garam masala.
  5. Pour the sauce back into the saucepan and simmer over lower heat, stirring it occasionally while cooking the paneer.
  6. Grill Paneer: Paneer can either be threaded onto pre-soaked wooden skewers and then grilled on a grill pan. Or they can be cooked directly on a tawa/ griddle until golden on all sides.
  7. To Finish the curry: Slide the grilled paneer pieces right into the sauce and mix well to coat them evenly. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve.
