The deep flavors of the base are coaxed to gentle flavorful sweetness and then married with a hint of spice and mellowed with the richness of a touch of cream, coconut cream that is. The cubed tofu is simmered in this sauce for about 15 minutes and voila, you have a dish that is elegant, healthy and quite luscious to eat. I have played around with this recipe to get it to its current vegan state and if you like the creamy flavors of a tikka masala sauce, you should give this healthier version a try. I have a couple of variations of this very attractive and flavorful sauce, I tend to make one for pasta as well.

  1. Tried this recipe last night and it’s great! I did make some tiny modifications: 2.5 cups of tofu (instead of 2) plus a bit of lal mirch. OGP strikes again!
