Paneer Tikka Masala is the vegetarian counterpart to the world-famous Chicken Tikka Masala. Paneer (a fresh, non-melting cheese common in the Indian subcontinent) has been a staple of South Asian diets for centuries. By roasting the paneer to give it a slight firmness and then simmering it in a rich gravy, chefs created a dish that satisfies even the most devoted meat-eaters.
To make the most authentic paneer tikka masala in Oakland, we don’t just drop raw cheese into a sauce. Our paneer cubes are marinated in yogurt and spices, then briefly roasted to develop a beautiful, flavorful crust. They are then gently folded into our slow-cooked masala of tomatoes, onions, and garam masala, allowing the cheese to soak up the vibrant spices without losing its shape.
Paneer Tikka Masala is traditionally served medium-spiced, offering a wonderful balance of heat and creamy sweetness. Need it adjusted? Just select Mild or Spicy when adding the item to your cart on our direct ordering platform.
