Instructions To Make Keto Paneer Tikka Masala

• Dice the paneer into cubes and mix it with turmeric, salt, and oil. Let it marinate for about 10-15minutes.
• Heat up coconut oil in a non-stick pan and shallow fry the paneer on all sides till it gets golden brown. Detach and set aside until your sauce is ready.
• Add 1 tbsp coconut oil and fry the onion too in the same pan. When the onion is golden brown, add the garlic, ginger, and jalapeno peppers. Fry till you the oil starts seeping out.
• Add the crushed tomatoes and let them cook for another 5-7 mins. Take out and puree in a food processor. An immersion blender will also work.
• Now add half tbsp of coconut oil to the pan and pour the pureed mixture back into the pan. Let the water evaporates and adds the spices. Let it cook for another 5-7 mins.
• Once you see some oil seeping out of the paste (the mixture will turn darker in color), add the cream and let it cook for another 2 mins. Pour half cup water and simmer for 5 mins or till it starts boiling.
• Readd the paneer to the sauce and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes.
• Drizzle some cilantro on top and serve hot riced cauliflower or low carb tortillas.
