Vegan Tofu Tikka Masala Recipe

Try this vegan version of the classic and wildly popular british and indian dish known as tikka masala that uses tofu in place of chicken or another meat protein. Many hindus in india eat a vegetarian or lacto-vegetarian diet with recipes using grains such as rice and wheat, legumes, green vegetables, and soy products. This dish adds plenty of aromatic and flavorful spices with these grains, and your home will be filled with a tantalizing aroma. Taking less than an hour to make, you will be going back for seconds when you sit down to enjoy this meal. As with most indian recipes, there are quite a few spices that go into the perfect recipe. Turmeric, garam masala, chili powder, cumin, and paprika will have your taste buds enjoying this dish. If you don't have one or two of them on hand, you can still make it and have a good result. More important than the spices is to make sure your tofu is well pressed. For an even more flavorful dish, you also can freeze the tofu, thaw it, and then gently press it again. Serve your tofu tikka masala with steamed rice or naan (a popular indian flatbread) for a complete meal.
