Method |
Preheat the oven to 400F or 200C
|
If you are not using super firm tofu you should now press the tofu for 20 minutes
|
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the tandoori paste ingredients until you get a thick paste
|
Break the tofu into jagged, thumb-sized chunks over the paste bowl and fold in until well mixed
|
Now carefully place the tofu chunks onto a lined baking sheet
|
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the tofu is crispy and browned
|
BUTTER TOFU SAUCE
|
While the tofu is cooking dice the onion and add to a skillet with a pinch of salt over medium-high
|
Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the onion is aromatic and starts to go translucent
|
Add the grated garlic, ginger and the sauce spices to the skillet
|
Stir to combine and cook for about one minute
|
Onions and spices in a skillet. Tomato chunks in a can
|
Now add the tomatoes to the skillet and stir to combine
|
Remove the skillet from the heat
|
Add the contents of the skillet, cashew butter, maple syrup, and lemon juice to a high-speed blender
|
Return the contents of the blender to the skillet
|
Turn the heat to medium and add the coconut milk and gently stir to combine
|
Simmer the sauce for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it reaches a thick, gravy-like consistency
|
When the tofu is baked add it to the sauce and gently fold the tofu chunks into the sauce
|
Garnish with fresh cilantro
|
Serve right away with basmati or jasmine rice
