Paneer Tikka Masala | Authentic Indian Cuisine

What Exactly is Paneer Tikka Masala?

Paneer Tikka Masala is one of the most beloved vegetarian dishes in the world, famous for its incredibly creamy texture and complex, balanced flavours. The “secret” to its name lies in its two-part cooking process:

• Paneer Tikka: First, cubes of fresh paneer (a firm Indian cheese) are marinated in yogurt and spices. They are then grilled, often in a tandoor, until lightly charred. This is the “Tikka.”
• The “Masala” (Sauce): Separately, a rich and luxurious gravy is prepared. This “Masala” is a slow-cooked blend of tomatoes, ginger, garlic, and aromatic spices, made exceptionally creamy with the addition of ground cashews and a touch of cream.

The grilled paneer tikka is then gently folded into the masala sauce, allowing it to absorb all the wonderful flavours. Crucially, this is a rich curry dish, not to be confused with “Paneer Tikka,” which is the dry, grilled appetizer.

The Anmol Difference: The Secret to Our Perfect Masala

In a city with many options, our Paneer Tikka Masala stands out because we refuse to take shortcuts. Our commitment to the authentic, traditional method is what makes it a customer favourite in Stockholm.

• Fresh, Soft Paneer: We use high-quality, fresh paneer that remains soft and absorbent, never rubbery. It’s the perfect canvas for our rich sauce.
• Real Cashew Creaminess: The velvety texture of our masala comes from real, ground cashews, not just cream. This adds a depth of flavour and a natural, luxurious thickness.
• Balanced Spice Blend: Our house-made garam masala is aromatic and warming, but carefully balanced so it doesn’t overpower the creamy notes of the dish. It’s flavourful, not just spicy.
• Slow-Cooked Perfection: The tomato base is simmered slowly to develop a deep, sweet flavour, creating the perfect foundation for the entire dish.

How to Create the Perfect Meal

Paneer Tikka Masala is the star of the show, but it loves company! We recommend pairing it with one of the following to complete your meal:

• With Bread: Use a fresh Garlic Naan or Butter Naan to scoop up every last drop of the delicious sauce.
• With Rice: Serve it alongside a bowl of fragrant Basmati Rice or Jeera Rice to soak up the gravy.
• As a Feast: Make it the centrepiece of a vegetarian feast by adding a side of Daal Tadka (lentil curry) and some of our vegetable side dishes.
