A creamy tandoori specialty — our Paneer Malai Tikka features cubes of soft paneer soaked in a smooth, rich malai (cream) marinade, then grilled in the tandoor until they melt in your mouth. It is one of Calgary's favourite vegetarian tandoori skewers.
Paneer Malai Tikka takes its name from the smooth malai, or cream, marinade that gives this dish its signature richness. At Flames & Grills By Tuli's we cut fresh paneer into cubes, soak them in a mild, creamy marinade, and thread them onto skewers for the tandoor. High tandoor heat gently sears the outside while keeping every cube soft and melt-in-your-mouth on the inside.
It is a hearty vegetarian tandoori favourite that never feels like an afterthought — perfect for meat-free family dinners, group orders and catering. Note that this is a grilled skewer dish, not a curry or gravy, so it comes off the tandoor ready to enjoy on its own or alongside your favourite sides.
We prepare our malai marinade in-house using cream and mild seasonings, rather than a heavy spice base. That gentle, creamy flavour is what makes our tandoori paneer a standout choice for vegetarians in Calgary NW.

"The best paneer dish in northwest Calgary. So creamy and soft, you can tell it's fresh off the tandoor. So good."

"Even as a non-vegetarian I order this every time. The malai marinade is so mild and creamy, and the paneer just melts in your mouth."
