Ingredients
Drain and press tofu 15-30 mins. Tear into chicken-sized chunks. In a bowl, mix tofu, yogurt, spices, lemon. Marinate 30 mins before making masala sauce.
Add the turmeric, cumin powder, coriander powder, ginger and garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes. Stir constantly. This brings out the flavor of the spices.
This vegan tikka masala tastes best as left overs, once all the flavors have had a chance to sit and meld together. This will last about a week in the fridge.
