Paneer Tikka Masala is a tomato,yogurt based gravy with PANEER TIKKA pieces .Both tomatoes and yogurt tend to make the gravy more tangy.So use frsh curd and bangalore tomatoes to balance the sourness it leaves on the gravy.
PANEER TIKKA can be prepared using an oven or a tawa.Refer my detailed post on PANEER TIKKA recipe before getting started.Paneer tikka masala is a bit lengthy process,you can also make the tikka a day ahead and toss them in the gravy before serving.
