Oven Paneer Tikka Masala
A wholesome Indian recipe crafted for health-conscious eating: nutritious, delicious, and easy to make at home.
The tikka matters: thick yogurt marinade, Kashmiri chilli colour, and a hot oven or air fryer for char. Then the cubes meet a tomato-onion gravy that stays bold, not watery.
Ingredients
How to Make It
Whisk yogurt with spices, lemon, ginger-garlic and besan. Coat paneer, capsicum and onion. Marinate at least 1 hour.
Bake or air-fry at 220°C until edges char lightly.
Cook onion-tomato gravy with spices until thick. Loosen slightly.
Fold in grilled tikka pieces; simmer 2–3 minutes. Finish with cream and kasuri methi.
