This dish is a vegan take on the traditional Paneer Makhani. Instead of paneer, tofu cubes are cooked in a rich, creamy tomato-coconut sauce that is full of fragrant spices.
Ingredients: 1 block extra-firm tofu, cubed. 2 tablespoons vegan butter. 1 onion, finely chopped. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1-inch piece ginger, grated. 2 cups tomato puree. 1 teaspoon ground turmeric. 1 teaspoon ground coriander. 1 teaspoon ground cumin. 1 teaspoon garam masala. 1/2 teaspoon paprika. 1/2 teaspoon chili powder. 1 cup coconut milk. Salt to taste. 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Fresh cilantro, for garnish.
Instructions: In a large skillet, heat vegan butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Saut until onions are soft and translucent. Add cubed tofu to the skillet and cook until lightly browned. Stir in tomato puree, turmeric, coriander, cumin, garam masala, paprika, and chili powder. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour in coconut milk and stir well. Simmer for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt to taste and stir in maple syrup for sweetness. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Serve hot with rice or naan.
