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 π And that’s why I am pretty confident that you will not find better recipe out there π
Tofu Tikka Masala – klasika po vegΓ‘nsky
Tento tΓ½ΕΎdeΕ som sa rozhodol ΕΎe zveganizujem jedno z najpopulΓ‘rnejΕ‘Γch jedΓ‘l na svete – Kuracie Tikka Masala. DrΕΎal som sa originΓ‘lneho receptu len som ho pozmenil na vegΓ‘nsku verziu. PresnejΕ‘ie povedanΓ©, namiesto kuracieho mΓ€sa som pouΕΎil tofu a vymenil mlieΔne vΓ½robky na rastlinnΓ©. A vΓ½sledok? Jedno z najlepΕ‘Γch jedΓ‘l akΓ© som kedy uvaril. A to vravΓm fakt ΓΊprimne. Toto je pravdepodobne najlepΕ‘ia Tofu Tikka Masala na internete. A preΔo by ste mi mali veriΕ₯? PretoΕΎe som toto jedlo jedol 100x ako vΕ‘eΕΎravec a viem ako mΓ‘ chutiΕ₯ π

5 cm ginger piece – 5cm kus zΓ‘zvoru
8 garlic cloves – 8 strΓΊΔikov 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 kockyΒ a daj do misky. Pridaj bielyΒ jogurt, 1/2 lyΕΎiΔky kurkumy, 1 lyΕΎiΔku KaΕ‘mΓrskeho Δili, 1/2 lyΕΎiΔky Garam Masala a poriadne vymieΕ‘aj. Na jemno postrΓΊhaj polovicu zΓ‘zvoru a 4 strΓΊΔiky cesnaku. Pridaj do tofu a opΓ€Ε₯ pomieΕ‘aj. Misku prikry fΓ³liou a daj do chladniΔky na minimΓ‘lne 2 hodiny. Ak mΓ΄ΕΎeΕ‘ tak juΒ ponechaj v chladniΔke aj celΓΊ noc.Β - 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 keΕ‘u do misky a zalej mliekom. KeΕ‘u ponechaj v mliekuΒ presne tak dlho akoΒ dlho budeΕ‘ marinovaΕ₯ tofu.Β - Once your tofu is marinated, preheat your oven to 200Β°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.
KeΔ tofu stΓ‘lo uΕΎ dosΕ₯ dlho, predhrej si rΓΊru na 200Β°C. Priprav si formu na peΔenie, daj do nej 1 lyΕΎicu oleja a rovnomerne ho rozotri. Do takto pripravenej formy daj tofu, vloΕΎ do rΓΊry a peΔ od 20-25 minΓΊt, alebo do momentu kedy tofu naberie zlato hnedΓΊ farbu. Po upeΔenΓ ponechaj v kΔΎude aby tofu troΕ‘ku vychladlo. - THE SAUCE – OmΓ‘Δka
- 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 Δas pripraviΕ₯ si omΓ‘Δku. Vo vΓ€ΔΕ‘ej panvici si ohrejΒ 2 lyΕΎice oleja a pridajΒ kmΓn, zelenΓ½ kardamon, klinΔeky, bobkovΓ© listy, Ε‘koricu a peΔ pribliΕΎne 30 sekΓΊnd. PrΓpravy veΔΎmi rΓ½chlo zaΔnΓΊ vΓ½pΓΊΕ‘Ε₯aΕ₯ arΓ³my tak dΓ‘vaj pozor aby si ich nespΓ‘lil/a. MedziΔasom si na hrubo pokrΓ‘jaj dve cibule a pridaj do panvice. PeΔ na miernomΒ ohniΒ pribliΕΎne 15 minΓΊt alebo pokiaΔΎ cibuΔΎka nebude zlato hnedΓ‘.Β - 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 upeΔenΓ© tofu a celΓ© ho pridaj do omΓ‘Δky. Poriadne vymieΕ‘aj a var na miernom ohni. KeΕ‘u ktorΓ© sa doteraz moΔilo v mlieku daj do kuchynskΓ©ho robota alebo mixΓ©ra a mixuj tak dlho aΕΎ kΓ½m nepovstane jemnΓ‘ pasta. TakΓΊto pastu pridaj do omΓ‘Δky.Β - 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 π
Na hrubo si pokroj 2 cibule, zelenΓΊΒ papriku a pridaj do omΓ‘Δky. Tieto dve prΓsady jej dodajΓΊ super chrumkavosΕ₯. Ak je tvoja omΓ‘Δka prΓliΕ‘ hustΓ‘ tak ju mΓ΄ΕΎeΕ‘ zjemniΕ₯ tak ΕΎe do nej pridΓ‘Ε‘ rastlinnΓΊ smotanu. HotovΓΊ omΓ‘Δku posΓ½p posekanΓ½m koriandrom a podΓ‘vaj s ryΕΎou aleboΒ indickΓ½m chlebom. DobrΓΊ chuΕ₯.
