Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • 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 (whole onion 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.)
Sear paneer
2
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When 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.
Cook veggies and chicken
3
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Reduce heat to medium. To the same pan, add chicken, onions and peppers. Cook for 4-6 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender-crisp and chicken is golden.
  • Add Dal Spice Blend and remaining garlic. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until fragrant.
Make sauce
4
  • 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 and chicken is cooked through.**
  • Remove the pan from heat. Add paneer and spinach. Stir for 1 min, until paneer is coated and spinach wilts. 
  • Season with salt.
Make garlic-butter flatbreads
5
  • Meanwhile, on an unlined baking sheet, arrange flatbreads. (NOTE: For 4 servings, use 2 baking sheets.)
  • Broil flatbreads 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 flatbreads, then brush with garlic butter (from step 1). Broil in the middle of the oven for 1-2 min, until toasted.
Finish and serve
6
  • Carefully cut or tear flatbreads into pieces.
  • Divide the kadai paneer between bowls. 
  • Serve flatbreads on the side.
