Vegetarian Tikka Masala

We ate it but WAY too much garam masala. We make Indian food at least once a week, and never use that much. We also eat a lot of tofu, but I didn't care for the tofu in this dish.

BLOOM THE SPICES. Any curry needs the spices and aromatics bloomed (fried), including ginger, onion,etc. Don't coat the tofu with spice mix. it will never bloom and be inedible. The ingredient list here is good, the instructions are the problem like so many things on eating well. Should be - 1. bloom/fry all spices. 2. add onions and flour, saute until onions are translucent. de-glaze pan with 1 cup water. 3. Add all other ingredients. Swap half-and-half with greek yogurt to cut the spicy-ness. If not sure about spice level, start with half the garam masala the first time. Do no add more garam masala at end, because raw spices in curry are unpalatable.

Loved this! Even awesome leftover (possibly more awesome). I'm not vegetarian or vegan and struggle with tofu but this was great. I did follow the recommendation to reduce the garam masala

I would agree with the comments regarding garam masala. The gm I use, at that quantity, would not turn out well. So, I did a mix of gm and curry powder. I also added extra water to help cook my other addition- spinach. This is delicious. I would make it again.

Follow these revisions and its an awesome recipe! Follow these revisions to a great recipe! Only use 1/4 the called for amount of tomatoes so 1 14 oz can with its juice. Do not put ginger in this!!! I am sure that is why this recipe was said to be off. Also add juice of about 1/3 of a lemon. When finished with recipe lightly salt and sprinkle with basil.. Pros: Very flavorfull..easy...and inexpensive Cons: Recipe needs editing

Wonderful Use for TofuI've made this half a dozen times and it is a standard weekly go-to dish when we want to have a flavorful tofu/vegetarian meal. Fresh garam masala mix from our local co-op makes the dish come alive. The texture, color, heat, and vibrant flavors created by the ginger, garlic, and garam masala keep us coming back time and time again. I'd serve this for a company meal for our friends who like spicy Indian food. Pros: Quick; uses ingredients at hand; flavorfulCons: none!
