Prep Time 15 minutes
Course Main Course
Cuisine Indian

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup half and half 
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream 
  • 1 packet paneer tikka masala mix 
  • tomato paste
  • 4-5 grams paneer (indian cottage cheese)
  • 1 tbsp oil or ghee
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl pour your Paneer tikka masala dry mix Add ½ cup of half and half, and ½ cup of heavy whipping cream. Mix it together until it is all mixed together.
  • Add ½ a tsp of Indian chili powder for an extra kick. 
  • Cut your paneer into small squares. I used roughly 3 grams of paneer because that was all I had. Take the small squares and add them to the air fryer for 5 minutes or 6 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place your large pan on medium heat, and add 3 tbsp of ghee or oil (I used avocado oil).
  • Add 3 (large) tbsp of the tomato paste and add in the gravy mix you made earlier. Stir it in and let it cook together.
  •  Add the Paneer and stir it on low heat. At this point, the gravy might look a bit dry. Add ½ cup of heavy whipping cream and ½ cup of half and half, and mix it until it’s incorporated well. Turn off the heat and cover it. 
  • Serve and enjoy.
