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 ๐ And that’s why I am pretty confident that you will not find better recipe out there ๐

Na jemno postrรบhaj polovicu zรกzvoru a 4 strรบฤiky cesnaku. Pridaj do tofu a opรคลฅ pomieลกaj. Misku prikry fรณliou a daj do chladniฤky na minimรกlne 2 hodiny. Ak mรดลพeลก tak juย ponechaj v chladniฤke aj celรบ noc.ย - 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 keลกu do misky a zalej mliekom. Keลกu ponechaj v mliekuย presne tak dlho akoย dlho budeลก marinovaลฅ tofu.ย - Once your tofu is marinated, preheat your oven to 200ยฐC. 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.
Keฤ tofu stรกlo uลพ dosลฅ dlho, predhrej si rรบru na 200ยฐC. Priprav si formu na peฤenie, daj do nej 1 lyลพicu oleja a rovnomerne ho rozotri.

Po upeฤenรญ ponechaj v kฤพude aby tofu troลกku vychladlo. - THE SAUCE – Omรกฤka
- 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 ฤas pripraviลฅ si omรกฤku. Vo vรคฤลกej panvici si ohrejย 2 lyลพice oleja a pridajย kmรญn, zelenรฝ kardamon, klinฤeky, bobkovรฉ listy, ลกkoricu a peฤ pribliลพne 30 sekรบnd.

- 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 upeฤenรฉ tofu a celรฉ ho pridaj do omรกฤky. Poriadne vymieลกaj a var na miernom ohni. Keลกu ktorรฉ sa doteraz moฤilo v mlieku daj do kuchynskรฉho robota alebo mixรฉra a mixuj tak dlho aลพ kรฝm nepovstane jemnรก pasta. Takรบto pastu pridaj do omรกฤky.ย - 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 ๐
