A basic adaptation of the well known Indian dish, made totally vegetarian! The tofu for Vegan Butter Chicken is set up in an exceptional manner that couldn't be simpler and some way or another makes it taste a great deal like chicken. Superior to anything take-out and more advantageous, as well!
Spread chicken is one of the most well known Indian dishes around, with it's gently spiced rich tomato sauce, and stuffed loaded with season. It's generally made with dairy cream, and obviously with chicken. I've made the most scrumptious vegetarian form, and I'm so eager to impart it to you today!
The "chicken" is really tofu, however it's no old tofu. No, the tofu is set up in a one of a kind route in the stove that makes it consummately chewy. It really tastes fundamentally the same as chicken, particularly once doused in the smooth sauce.
The main fixing you probably won't be comfortable with is garam masala. It's an extraordinary zest blend to have close by. I utilize it in Vegetable Korma, and different dishes, as well. It's a mix of a few Indian flavors and includes an unbelievable measure of flavor to your plans. A great deal of customary supermarkets convey it, or discover it at an Indian market. You can likewise arrange it on the web.

For the tofu:
- 2 (16 oz) blocks extra-firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the sauce:
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter (or olive oil)
- 1 large onion, diced small
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (or 1 tsp dried)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 ounces tomato paste
- 1 (13.5 oz) canned full fat coconut milk
Instructions :
- Press the tofu: Wrap the block of tofu in paper towels. Place a plate or pan on top of the wrapped tofu, and put a couple of heavy books on top of that. Let the tofu press for 20 minutes. (You can skip this step if you get the super firm variety)
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice the tofu into about 6 slices (see photos in post above for reference). Now, rip each slice into medium-large pieces. You can also simply cut them into cubes, if you prefer, but ripping gives the tofu a great texture for this dish.
- Add the tofu pieces to a large ziplock bag, along with the olive oil, cornstarch and salt. Close the bag, and shake gently to coat. Arrange the tofu evenly on the prepared pan, and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- While the tofu bakes, prepare the sauce: Melt the 2 tablespoons of vegan butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Saute the onion for 3-4 minutes in the butter, then add the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the spices, salt, tomato paste and coconut milk. Stir until smooth and combined, then simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring frequently.
- When the tofu is done baking, add it to the sauce and stir to coat the pieces. Serve over rice with Easy Vegan Naan. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
