Delicious restaurant-style Tofu Tikka Masala made by simmering baked cubes of tofu in a creamy tomato onion curry sauce. Serve with basmati rice or a flatbread like vegan naan or roti for the ultimate Indian style comfort food meal.

This tofu tikka masala -- spiced, marinated tofu cubes in a luxurious, luscious and silky curry sauce -- is a dish that I love making on weeknights when I want a delicious meal in a hurry.

If you love velvet-textured Indian sauces like tofu makhani and vegan butter chicken, this tofu tikka masala is a recipe you will enjoy making, serving and eating.
The tofu tikka masala riffs off from paneer tikka masala, a dish served in Indian restaurants (along with chicken tikka masala), where cubes of paneer, a cottage cheese, are added to an appetizing red sauce and simmered together.

A key point to keep in mind when making a tikka masala is that you need to create two sauces: both with a base of onions and tomatoes. One sauce gets blended up while the other is not. This gives the tikka masala more complexity of flavor and texture. Making two sauces might sound tedious, but it really is not. Everything comes together in one pan and most of the ingredients for both sauces are the same so you just need to chop everything up once.
