Ingredients

1 Tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
8.8 oz (250 g) firm tofu, cut into 2 cm pieces 1 Tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 Tbsp (6 g) freshly grated ginger
1 tsp (2 g) whole brown mustard seeds
2 Tbsp (12 g) tikka masala spice mix 
1⁄2 tsp salt
1⁄4 tsp chili powder, or less for less spice

1⁄2 lime, juiced 
2 vegan naans 

Directions

Prep 10 min Cook 15 min

1. To a large pan on high heat, add the oil and tofu. Turn it periodically so it gets lightly golden on all sides.

2. Meanwhile, add the oil and onion to a sauté pan pan on medium-high heat. Cook for 3 minutes.

3. Add the ginger and mustard seeds. Cook for 2 more minutes.

4. Add the masala seasoning, salt, and chili and toast for another minute. The dish is spicy, so omit or add less chili if you're not a fan of heat.

5. Add the chopped tomato, cooking cream, yogurt, cashews, and tomato paste. Cook for 7 - 8 minutes.

6. Lastly, add the cooked tofu and stir it through.

7. Squeeze over the lime juice, stir, and serve with naan or rice. Enjoy!
