What cheese goes with tikka masala?
If you can't find paneer, halloumi can be a decent substitute. It holds up well in the sauce and has a similar texture.

Honestly, cheese isn't really traditional in tikka masala. Stick to paneer if you want to keep it authentic!
I once tried it with feta out of desperation. Surprisingly tasty but definitely not for the traditionalists!
Paneer is the way to go! It's a firm, non-melting cheese that's perfect for absorbing all those delicious tikka masala flavors.
