Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Peel, then cut half the onion into 1/2-inch pieces (use whole for 4 servings.)
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Cut paneer into 1/2-inch cubes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- To a small bowl, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic. Microwave for 1 min, until melted. Set aside. (NOTE: This is your garlic butter.)
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When the pan is hot, add 2 tbsp butter, then swirl the pan to melt.
- Add paneer. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan; cook paneer in 2 batches for 4 servings, using 2 tbsp butter per batch.)
- Pan-fry for 5-6 min, turning cubes occasionally, until crispy and golden all over.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. To the same pan, add onions and peppers. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
- Add Dal Spice Blend and remaining garlic. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until fragrant.
- To the pan with veggies, add tikka sauce, coconut milk and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 5-7 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove the pan from heat. Add paneer and spinach. Stir for 1 min, until paneer is coated and spinach wilts.
- Season with salt.
- Meanwhile, on an unlined baking sheet, arrange naan. (NOTE: For 4 servings, use 2 baking sheets.)
- Broil naan in the middle of the oven for 1-2 min, until softened. (NOTE: For 4 servings, broil one sheet at a time.) (TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn!)
- Carefully flip naan, then brush with garlic butter (from step 1). Broil in the middle of the oven for 1-2 min, until toasted.
- Carefully cut or tear naan into pieces.
- Divide the kadai paneer between bowls.
- Serve naan on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The tikka-coconut sauce is widely praised for its bold, restaurant-style flavour; some reviewers found it a touch sweet and suggest reducing or omitting the sugar.
- Ease of prep: Most reviewers found the dish straightforward to prepare, though getting the paneer golden and crispy does take a bit of extra time at the stove.
- Suggestions: Add chilli flakes or reduce the dal spice blend to suit your heat preference, as several reviewers noted the dish can be quite spicy. Blending the cooked onion and pepper into the sauce, or stirring in a can of lentils, are popular ways to add body and stretch the meal further.
- Leftovers: Several reviewers felt the sauce quantity was on the lighter side; consider serving with basmati rice to make the most of every last drop.
- Portions: Some reviewers felt there was more paneer than sauce; reducing the paneer slightly and adding a vegetable like sweet potato can help balance the dish.
