To the naked eye, it is hard to tell the difference between the two. However, by reading on, you will see that both dishes are not the same at all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paneer Is Cooked Differently<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The tell-tale differentiation is the way the paneer<\/a> is cooked. The paneer in a tikka masala is grilled separately before being added to the gravy. In a butter masala dish, the paneer is simply added to the tomato base and is cooked through by the heat of the liquid.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
