Do you love Indian cuisine as much as I do? If so, then be sure to try this delicious butter tofu. The sauce is based on butter chicken. But of course I want a vegan version. Therefore Butter Tofu!

The most important thing in this recipe are the spices. You need: Garam Masala, paprika, cinnamon, cumin, chili, coriander seeds and grated coriander and of course salt.
Onions, garlic, ginger and tomatoes are also responsible for the intense flavor. The most important thing in this recipe: toast! The spices and vegetables should be roasted in your pan. Only after that you fill the sauce with vegan yogurt and cream.

The tofu is baked in the oven while you cook the delicious sauce until crispy. Only after it has formed a nice crust, you add it to the sauce. The vegan butter tofu tastes even better the next day! Because well done the tofu takes the taste of the sauce much better. Therefore, this dish is excellent for pre-cooking or meal prep.
