I have already given the recipe of paneer tikka kebabs in my earlier post. This is just the tikka masala gravy recipe which you can enjoy with roti or naan.

9. Lemon juice- 1 tsp
10. Roasted cumin powder- 1/2 tsp

12. Hing (asafoetida)- 1/4 tsp
13. Oil

Procedure :

Chop the onion , tomato and chilly. Heat oil in a kadhayi and fry tthem. Cool the ingredients and then grind them into a smooth paste. Now heat 1 tbs oil and add ginger garlic paste to it. Fry it for a minute and add the tomato paste. Mix well and cover it. Cook it over low flame for about 4 to 5 minutes. After that add turmeric , chilly powder , cumin powder , hing (I had the left out of the kebab marinate and I mixed it too into the kadhayi) and mix well.
