15 minutes yellow curry tofu (VeGaN)

This recipe belongs to one of the quickest I ever cooked. It’s so simple that even a complete beginner will be able to cook it on time And why? Because you need only a couple of ingredients, and 3 steps to make it. The first one is to cook the rice according to the instructions on the package. If you fail with that, you should not cook at all (just kidding ). In case you pass the rice cooking test you can continue with the next 2 steps and finish the dish. Have fun cooking and enjoy

The best tofu Tortilla Filling – VeGaN

Tofu Tortilla Filling – VeGaN

Who likes tortillas? Hands up (or actually comments down). I like tortillas a lot. And when I say a lot, I mean a lot In the past I used to make the filling with minced chicken meat and then add a huge portion of cheddar on top. Yum But today I think twice before I cook with some animal product. Thanks to my short VeGaN journey I discovered new ways of cooking my most favorite dishes. I experimented a lot with products which could replace the meat but still keep the full taste of the dishes.

This is how I actually figured out the way to this TOFU tortilla filling. Hopefully, it will match your taste buds the same ways as mine. And what you can expect from this VeGaN-friendly dish? An explosion of flavors and textures which will make you addicted to this dish Just try it out. Ciao

Ingredients

Metric US

250g of hard tofu
2 teaspoons of smoked red paprika powder
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of onion powder
Salt and black pepper
Soy sauce
1 lime
2 tomatoes
Tabasco
Pickled jalapenos
Fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped
2-3 shallots
Colorful bell peppers (I used red, yellow and green), deseeded and chopped into medium sized pieces
Canned red beans
200g of canned corn
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
1 onion, chopped
25g of tomato puree
Olive oil
Salt & pepper
Vegetable oil

Directions

Firstly let’s prepare the “meat”. Preheat your oven to 200°C. Place your tofu in a bowl and break it down into smaller pieces. I break it down using my hands, but you can use a fork if you wish. Then add the smoked red paprika, garlic and onion powder and mix well. Now you can add 3-4 tablespoons of soy sauce and mix well. Heat up a bigger pan and roast the tofu without oil. Do not stir it and let it burn a bit. Once your tofu is crispy enough spread it evenly on your baking tray and put into the oven. Lower the heat to 150°C and bake for 15-20 minutes. Stir occasionally so it doesn’t burn. At the end, your tofu should be crispy and look like this
Meanwhile, your tofu is in the oven you can prepare the salsa: quarter your tomatoes and remove the seeds, then chop into small cubes and place into a bowl. Finely chop the shallots, pickled jalapenos and the coriander leaves. Add to the chopped tomatoes and mix well. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, juice from the 1/2 of lime, a drizzle of Tabasco and mix well. Season with a pinch of salt. In case you prefer fresher taste you can add some additional lime juice.
Once your tofu is done heat up 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a bigger saucepan, add the onion and roast for 4-5 minutes or until slightly golden. Then add the garlic and roast for 1 minute. Now add the chopped bell peppers, stir well and roast for another 5-7 minutes. If you roast the peppers longer they will not be crunchy at the end. Now stir in the tomato puree and add the baked tofu. Mix well and cook for 1-2 minutes until all the ingredients combine. At the end add the corn, the beans, and the chopped coriander. Stir well, turn off the heat and serve. Enjoy

The best Tofu Tikka Masala – a classic veganized

Tofu Tikka Masala – a classic veganized

This week I have decided to “veganize” one of the most popular foods in the world – a Chicken Tikka Masala. I kept the original recipe just adapted it to a vegan version. More concretely I have changed the chicken for tofu and swop all the dairy products for plant-based ones. And the result? One of the most awesome food ever. And I am being pretty honest with you guys. This is probably the best Tofu Tikka Masala on the internet. Trust me, as a former omnivore, I know how this food should taste And that’s why I am pretty confident that you will not find better recipe out there

Tofu Tikka Masala – klasika po vegánsky

Tento týždeň som sa rozhodol že zveganizujem jedno z najpopulárnejších jedál na svete – Kuracie Tikka Masala. Držal som sa originálneho receptu len som ho pozmenil na vegánsku verziu. Presnejšie povedané, namiesto kuracieho mäsa som použil tofu a vymenil mliečne výrobky na rastlinné. A výsledok? Jedno z najlepších jedál aké som kedy uvaril. A to vravím fakt úprimne. Toto je pravdepodobne najlepšia Tofu Tikka Masala na internete. A prečo by ste mi mali veriť? Pretože som toto jedlo jedol 100x ako všežravec a viem ako má chutiť

Ingredients

Metric US

250g tofu (I used a 90% soy tofu) – 250g tvrdého tofu (najlepšie ak má okolo 90% sóje)
150ml non-dairy plain yogurt or thick coconut cream – 150ml rastlinného bieleho jogurtu
1 tablespoon of cumin seeds – 1 lyžica celého kmínku
2 tablespoons of Kashmiri chili powder – 2 lyžice Kašmírskeho čili prášku
2 tablespoons of turmeric – 2 lyžice mletej kurkumy
4 whole green cardamoms – 4 celé zelené kardamóny
6 cloves – 6 klinčekov
2 bay leaves – 2 bobkové listy
1 cinnamon stick – 1 celá škorica
1 teaspoon of coriander powder – 1 čajová lyžička mletého koriandru
2 teaspoons of Garam Masala – 2 čajové lyžičky korenia Garam Masala
Salt – soľ
50ml of tomato paste – 50ml paradajového pretlaku (pasty)
100ml of non-dairy milk (I used rice milk) – 100ml rastlinného mlieka (ja som použil ryžové)
50g of cashew nuts – 50g kešu orieškov
1 green chili – 1 zelená čili paprička
1 green bell pepper – 1 zelená paprika
4 medium-sized onions – 4 stredne veľké cibule
4 tomatoes – 4 paradajky
bunch of fresh coriander – hrsť čerstvého koriandru
100ml of non-dairy double cream – 100ml rastlinnej smotany
vegetable oil – rastlinný olej
5 cm ginger piece – 5cm kus zázvoru
8 garlic cloves – 8 strúčikov cesnaku

Directions

TOFU
Cut your tofu into bigger cubes and place into a bowl. Now add the plain yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of Kashmiri Chilli Powder and 1/2 of a teaspoon of Garam Masala and mix well. Grate in the half of your ginger and 4 cloves of garlic and add to marinade. Cover with foil and place it into the fridge for at least 2 hours. (if you can leave it overnight even better).

/ Tofu pokroj na kocky a daj do misky. Pridaj biely jogurt, 1/2 lyžičky kurkumy, 1 lyžičku Kašmírskeho čili, 1/2 lyžičky Garam Masala a poriadne vymiešaj. Na jemno postrúhaj polovicu zázvoru a 4 strúčiky cesnaku. Pridaj do tofu a opäť pomiešaj. Misku prikry fóliou a daj do chladničky na minimálne 2 hodiny. Ak môžeš tak ju ponechaj v chladničke aj celú noc.
Place the cashew nuts into a smaller bowl and pour in the milk. Put into the fridge and soak for the same time as you marinate the tofu.

/ Daj kešu do misky a zalej mliekom. Kešu ponechaj v mlieku presne tak dlho ako dlho budeš marinovať tofu.
Once your tofu is marinated, preheat your oven to 200°C. Prepare your baking tray and put 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in it. Spread the oil evenly by using a brush and then place in the tofu. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the tofu will turn golden-brown. Once ready set aside to cool down a bit.

Keď tofu stálo už dosť dlho, predhrej si rúru na 200°C. Priprav si formu na pečenie, daj do nej 1 lyžicu oleja a rovnomerne ho rozotri. Do takto pripravenej formy daj tofu, vlož do rúry a peč od 20-25 minút, alebo do momentu kedy tofu naberie zlato hnedú farbu. Po upečení ponechaj v kľude aby tofu trošku vychladlo.
THE SAUCE – Omáčka
Now is time to prepare the sauce. In a bigger saucepan preheat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add the cumin seeds, green cardamoms, cloves, cinnamon, bay leaves and roast for 30 seconds. All the spices will release those beautiful flavors very quickly so do not burn them. Meanwhile, chop roughly 2 onions and the green chili and add to the spices. Roast for 15 minutes on medium heat until the onion will turn brown.

/ Teraz je čas pripraviť si omáčku. Vo väčšej panvici si ohrej 2 lyžice oleja a pridaj kmín, zelený kardamon, klinčeky, bobkové listy, škoricu a peč približne 30 sekúnd. Prípravy veľmi rýchlo začnú výpúšťať arómy tak dávaj pozor aby si ich nespálil/a. Medzičasom si na hrubo pokrájaj dve cibule a pridaj do panvice. Peč na miernom ohni približne 15 minút alebo pokiaľ cibuľka nebude zlato hnedá.
TOFU TIKKA MASALA
Now take the baked tofu and stir into the sauce. Mix well and cook on a medium heat. Take out the soaked cashew nuts from the fridge, put into a food processor and blend to a smooth paste. Add to the sauce.

Vezmi upečené tofu a celé ho pridaj do omáčky. Poriadne vymiešaj a var na miernom ohni. Kešu ktoré sa doteraz močilo v mlieku daj do kuchynského robota alebo mixéra a mixuj tak dlho až kým nepovstane jemná pasta. Takúto pastu pridaj do omáčky.
Roughly chop 2 onions and the green bell pepper and add to the sauce as well. It will give it a nice crispy texture. If your sauce became very thick and you want to lose it a bit, you can slowly add the double cream. Sprinkle with the chopped coriander leaves and serve with rice or naan. Enjoy

Na hrubo si pokroj 2 cibule, zelenú papriku a pridaj do omáčky. Tieto dve prísady jej dodajú super chrumkavosť. Ak je tvoja omáčka príliš hustá tak ju môžeš zjemniť tak že do nej pridáš rastlinnú smotanu. Hotovú omáčku posýp posekaným koriandrom a podávaj s ryžou alebo indickým chlebom. Dobrú chuť.
