#Paneer tikka masala

[illusionremember]

okay really i have to know, someone please help me out here.

so the first time I ever tried Indian food was a little over a year ago. My sibling has a close friend who is Indian, so they have more experience in this than I do. One day, they were craving some tasties, and ordered some paneer tikka masala from a little vegetarian-based Indian place ten minutes away. It smelled divine. Having never tried Indian, but curious, I asked if i could try some. They let me have a taste of it, smear-scooped onto some fresh garlic naan.

Y'all. It was so good. It was warm and spicy and complex and lovely. I thanked them for the taste and went back to my own dinner.

They had a ton of leftovers, and a general habit of not eating leftovers. The little half-full tub of enticing spicy heaven sat in the fridge taunting me every time I opened the door. Echoes of the flavor teased at my tongue. So after the paneer tikka masala sat in the fridge for two nights, on the third night, I asked them if i could have the rest and they said go for it.

Now here's the thing. I have, for the past 5 years or so, had some manner of food sensitivity that I have not been able to pinpoint that torments me at least once a week. It is not IBS, and not consistent enough to signal true danger to my health, but is mostly an annoyance. A half-hour to an hour after eating, some nights are spent with tummy cramps and other unpleasantness. Still don't know what's causing it.

But this tikka masala. Whatever is in it, it has the exact opposite effect of whatever component of my typical diet has been tormenting me off and on. Even more so than the flavor, the thing that makes me practically cry every time i have some is just how good my tummy feels. It's warm and satisfied and comfortable, like the intestinal equivalent of being snuggled up on the couch with a cozy blanket and a book on a rainy day.

I've tried looking up common ingredients and recipes for this dish, trying to identify what component it is that's making me feel so good after dinner I could cry. Most of the ingredients I see are fairly familiar and already part of my diet - onion, turmeric, cumin, ginger, tomato, etc. I suppose it could be the yogurt? Or the paneer itself? The restaurant in question described it as cottage cheese or house cheese. I'm not generally a fan of yogurt, but I do eat cottage cheese. I also suspect it could be some spice in the garam masala, which I understand varies depending on the chef. But being of average white bread American stock, I'm not familiar enough with what constitutes good garam masala to know what would go into this spice blend and in what ratios, or if there is some particular variety of yogurt or cheese required for this dish. There's a lot of Indian food and grocery stores in my area, but it's still hard to source a specific ingredient when I can't identify it accurately.

I just want to figure out what this magical digestive-support ingredient is so I can try to incorporate it into my diet more. I just want every meal to sit as well in my body as this one does. If anyone knows anything about Indian food and cooking, and the health benefits of traditional Indian food, I'd appreciate your thoughts!
