    Notes

    · Goes very well with any flatbread or even pulao, biriyani.
    · I served it with Paneer tikka biriyani and Onion Raita.
    · Don’t cook after adding cream, it may curdle, so add it just before you switch off the flame.
    · Instead of the stovetop method, you can also use the oven for preparing the Paneer tikka. It is good in both ways.
    · Cubed onions can also be grilled and added to the gravy.
