Indian Paneer Tikka Masala

Indian Paneer Tikka Masala is a classic dish from the North Indian region. It is made from cubes of paneer (a type of fresh cheese) marinated in a spicy yogurt sauce and then cooked in a creamy tomato-based sauce. The dish is usually served with naan, paratha, or rice. It is a popular dish in Indian restaurants around the world as well as in India. Paneer Tikka Masala is often considered to be a healthier alternative to other popular North Indian dishes such as butter chicken and korma.
