Tofu in Makhani Curry Recipe!!
The makhani curry is perhaps one of the most fabled and loved dishes from Indian cuisine. This curry is deeply colored and flavorful with all goodness of cashews and coconut milk. Veganism is about rich flavoured dishes with goodness of veggies and creaminess of cashews.
This delicious Tofu Curry is ready in just 20 minutes with few ingredients! It's a flavorful curry sauce, full of nutrition and flavours.
How can you make tofu taste good?
Tofu tastes best when marinated, but not just with oil. Tofu has a lot of water in it even after you press it. To make tofu flavourful in any of your recipe - marinate it with spices, liquids like lemon, vinegor, soy sauce or sauces of your chioce and recipe you are going to use tofu in.
Tofu is a good source of protein, magnesium, copper, zinc and vitamin B1 and it is the only soya product worth eating.
This gravy is exactly similar to the one typically used for shahi paneer, with the exception, of course, that there is no butter or cream used in this curry recipe here.
This Tofu Curry goes well with steamed rice, chappaties or paranthas. Also, you can replace tofu with meat substitutes, paneer and vegetables like mushrooms or eggplant/brinjal. Since tofu has healthy fats which is full of good plant based protein, so why not to use tofu here.

Cover and cook for next 20 minutes
Till it is being done we will fry our tofu
Which is done
So this is also marinated
To add any oil in the pan as the tofu also has oil
See if the tomatoes are tender now
Tomatoes are cooked
Let's add a 1 fourth cup of tomato puree
Leave it to cook for next 2 minutes on medium flame
So the tofu is done
We will put off the flame
And keep them aside
Till the curry is getting ready
Check for cashews if they are done
Take off the pan from the stove
Now let's blend the curry
You can blend it in a blender also

So the curry is ready
I have blended it and it is nice in colour

So let's keep it back onto the stove
Over low flame
Look at the texture of the curry
It is nicely blended
It is creamy and colourful
