A delectable union of Moghul and North Indian cuisine, Paneer Tikka Masala is a delicious combination of charcoal grilled Indian cottage cheese (ricotta) cubes in a spicy sauce. The grilled cheese cubes are first marinated in a special mixture of red spices and yoghurt and then roasted slowly in an Indian clay oven called a tandoor. The grilled cheese cubes are then cooked slowly in a delicate medium spicy sauce, which is rich in cream and butter. A tongue tingling favorite of Indian gourmets, Paneer Tikka Masala is an ideal dish complemented by tandoori rotis and nans.
