Overview
Non-GMO tofu gets coated in flavorful masala spice and then pan-fried to crispy perfection. Sauteed with vegetables (red bell pepper, cauliflower) then simmered in an Indian-style creamy tomato sauce. Sides include Jasmine rice and naan bread.
Cooking instructions
- Place the medium pot on medium-high heat with 1 cup water and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Add the jasmine rice. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cover it with the lid. Cook for 10-12 minutes, then remove from the heat. Let the rice rest for 10 minutes and set aside until plating.
- Wash, then cut the cauliflower florets into bite-sized pieces as needed. Lastly, rinse the tofu in cold water, then cut it into 1-inch chunks. In the small bowl, mix the tofu and tikka spice cornstarch until all sides are coated.
- Place the large sauté pan on medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of high-heat cooking oil (such as soy, canola, or sunflower oil). Preheat the pan for 3 minutes or until the oil is very hot. Carefully place the tikka tofu in the pan (spread it out for better browning). Heat the first side of the cubes for 2-3 minutes, then flip over and brown the other side for 2-3 minutes.
- Next, add the cauliflower and peas and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Turn the burner down to medium heat. Pour the masala sauce, rinse the container with 2 tablespoons of hot water, and add that. Bring the sauce to a low boil and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste, then add salt, pepper, or a dash pinch of cayenne pepper for spiciness.
- While the tofu tikka masala is cooking, cut the naan bread in half and heat until warm in the toaster. Turn off all heating elements.
- For plating, divide the rice between two shallow bowls. Spoon on the tofu and vegetable tikka masala. Enjoy the naan on the side!
