Keto Paneer Tikka Masala

A flavorful and creamy Indian dish made with grilled paneer chunks in a spicy tomato-based sauce. This keto-friendly version is low in carbs and high in protein.

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Add paneer cubes and marinate for 30 minutes.

3. In a separate pan, heat ghee and sauté chopped onions until golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and cook for a minute.
4. Stir in tomato puree, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook the masala sauce for 5-7 minutes until it thickens.
5. Add grilled paneer cubes to the masala sauce and simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
6. Stir in heavy cream and cook for an additional minute.
7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with cauliflower rice or keto-friendly naan.
