Tofu Tikka Masala (easy & protein-rich)

Tofu tikka masala is a vegetarian and vegan tikka masala recipe inspired by the world-famous Indian chicken tikka masala.

It’s made with slightly chewy marinated and oven-baked tofu pieces cooked in a rich, creamy, and aromatic tomato-based sauce.

INGREDIENTS:
FOR THE TOFU MARINADE
16 ounces (500 grams) tofu firm or extra firm
½ cup (120 grams) Greek yogurt or non-dairy yogurt
1 tablespoon olive oil swap avocado or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 inch (2 cm) ginger grated
2 cloves garlic grated
1 teaspoon garam masala or curry powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon turmeric
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes or chili powder

FOR THE MASALA SAUCE
2 tablespoons olive oil swap avocado or vegetable oil
2 medium onions chopped
1 inch ginger grated
2 cloves garlic grated
2 teaspoons coriander ground
1 teaspoon cumin ground
1 teaspoon garam masala
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes or more to taste
2 cups (500 grams) tomato puree or passata
1 teaspoon salt or more to taste
2 twists of black pepper
2 cups (½ liter) water
½ cup (120 grams) heavy cream swap non-dairy cream, cashew cream, or coconut milk
2 teaspoons sugar optional

SERVES WELL WITH
lemon juice, cilantro, yogurt, roti, naan, or basmati rice

Bake for 30 minutes until golden. In the meantime, make the sauce.

Looks delicious!

Know this may not be a staple in most non indian kitchens….. but Adding a pinch of dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi) would add an extra flavor.

Saw the post, thankfully had all the ingredients and whipped this beauty up 🤤 a dollop of coconut yoghurt to top it off was so great!!! Thanks for the recipe

[Ice.muffin]

Yum. Just made it, I'm not even a fan of turmeric-based foods but this is the shit. 10/10 would do again, just like this.

[randayacoub]

Love your recipes more vegan recipes especially Indian spinach restaurant style please thank you

[MagicalMemes]

This recipe is absolutely goated 10/10

[sumanayashinsky]

Your recipes are very good and I would love to make them. But please add the proportions. For me knowing how much of each spice or ingredient to add is everything. Especially for Indian dishes taste gets screwed up if you misproportion the spices.

[joybanks]

I made this for dinner and it was great

I have a question tho if you're a vegetarian what's harm in eating paneer? Why choosing tofu? I feel paneer is way more tastier and the texture is also more smoother than tofu.
Amazing recipe tho 🌸

[lakshmanmanoj]

It'll taste a lot better with panner in place of tofu

[riverbilly]

Where are the measurements for ingredients? Oven temp times for baking?

[Aadyagupta]

You could’ve added Kasturi meethi leaves and coriander at top !

[aaditshah]

Can we air fry the tofu instead of baking it? With this marinade?

[harsh.d.rajput]

Tofu is actually very similar to paneer, but
paneer is better whrn marinated

[soniachristiansen]

Can u put a list at the end of the recipe 🎉😊

Can you add Closed Captions to your videos, my English isn't good so it's hard to understand other accents.

Sounds incredible! Too bad that I cannot find vegan yogurt too easy.
