Do You Fry Paneer Before Cooking Paneer Tikka Masala?
You don't have to fry paneer before cooking paneer tikka masala, but grilling or pan-frying it first gives it a nice texture and flavor.

Absolutely! Frying paneer first adds a lovely crust and locks in the moisture.
I've tried both ways - frying it first gives it that extra crispy edge, but it's totally fine to skip if you're in a hurry!
Nope, I never fry it first. Just marinate and cook in the gravy. Works fine.
