Hi there welcome to my channel and today we’re going to be making the most delicious flavor packed and Saucy vegan butter chicken made from tofu this is one of my favorite comfort meals because it’s just so flavorful and it’s prettyy simple to make so I’m going to start off with three blocks of extra firm.
Tofu now I’m going to cover these with a kitchen towel and lightly Pat them you don’t need to press too much if you’re using extra firm tofu because it doesn’t hold as much water this is optional but I’m just going to take my cast iron and set it on top of the tofu to just help press it a bit.
More after a few minutes you can remove the cast iron and we’re just going to uncover the tofu as you can see the tofu is pretty stiff so here I have a large bowl and I’m going to take my blocks of tofu one at a time and I’m just going to tear them into small chunks or pieces just like.
This if you’ve seen my other recipes you’ll know I usually do this for tofu because I feel like it absorbs the flavors better and it gives it a nicer texture compared to regular cubes now that our tofu is ready we’re going to prepare the seasoning I’m going to be using a four.
Of a cup of corn starch which will help the tofu get nice and crispy while baking and then I have a teaspoon of curry powder 3/4 of a teaspoon of chili powder a teaspoon and A2 of garam masala and 3/4 of a tpoon of Ginger then I’m going to add in my spices into my corn starch and mix it until it’s fully.

Then I’m going to toss the tofu to coat all the pieces then we’re going to add in the rest of our seasoning just make sure not to mix the tofu too aggressively because it’s still very soft and it will break it into small.
Pieces here I have a baking pan just lined with parchment paper and we’re going to add the tofu to this you can also pan fry your tofu instead of baking I just prefer baking because I’m making a lot of tofu so it’s easier to just prepare the rest of my ingredients while this Cooks.
Now I’m going to pop this in the oven at 420 for about 25 to 27 minutes now while the tofu is baking we’re going to prepare the rest of the ingredients for this recipe I’ll usually use a small white onion but mine’s pretty big so I’m not going to use the whole thing then I’m going to finally chop the.
