📕 What is Tofu Tikka Masala?

Tofu Tikka Masala is the vegan version of the popular chicken tikka masala.

The curry is based on a spiced cashew curry paste. And water is added to the paste to build up the curry overheat.

The tofu cubes are then added to the curry during the cooking process.

🧂 Ingredients

To make this dish easily, I have created a recipe for the tikka masala sauce which you can get here.

However, these are the ingredients just for the curry paste again:

Cashews, Turmeric, Onion, Tomato, Ginger, Garlic, Red Chili Pepper, Cumin, Coriander, Black Pepper and Cinnamon.

The Vegan Tikka Masala Sauce can be frozen in batches.

I usually prepare large amounts of the tikka masala sauce because that way I can use it to prepare other tikka masala dishes such as a vegetable tikka masala.

Prepare the Tikka Masala Sauce within 15 minutes by using the previously prepared tikka masala sauce to save time.

Ingredients for the tofu tikka masala

  • Tikka Masala Sauce (curry paste)
  • Oil
  • Water
  • Tofu - I like to use firm or extra firm tofu for this curry. I cut the tofu into bite sized cubes.
  • Salt
  • Bay Leaf
  • Cilantro to garnish
