Ingredients

Tofu

  • 12 ounces extra firm tofu
  • 2 tbs sesame oil
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • ½ cup red onion finely diced
  • ¼ cup fresh ginger finely grated
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 ¼ teaspoon Sea Salt
  • ½ teaspoon tumeric
  • teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 14 ounce cans diced tomatoes
  • ½ cup full fat coconut milk
  • cilantro to garnish

Riced Cauliflower

  • ½ large head cauliflower
  • 1 tbs sesame oil
  • Salt and Pepper as desired

Instructions

  • Prepare tofu by draining excess liquid, and then wrapping in several paper towels, placing on a plate, and putting a heavy plate on top to press even more moisture out. This can also be done using a tofu press. Leave for at least 10 minutes to allow water to drain out.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, add sesame oil, and cubed tofu pieces. Season lightly with sea salt and pepper.
  • Gently flip the tofu and allow to brown. Remove from pan.
  • In the remaining sesame oil, add chopped onions, garlic and grated ginger. Saute for about 5 minutes until onions are transluscent.
  • Add all spices to the pan, and mix into the onion and ginger mixture.
  • Add diced tomatoes to a blender and pulse until the tomatoes are mixed into a puree, but not completely smooth. This step is optional. You can use the diced tomatoes straight out of the pan and it’s still delicious.
  • Pour the tomatoes into the pan, and stir to combine. Add the tofu in, and reduce heat to medium low. Allow to simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Add the coconut milk, bring back to a low boil, and then remove from heat. Taste, and season with cayenne and sea salt.
  • To prepare the cauliflower rice, chop the cauliflower roughly, and then place in a food processor bowl. Don’t overfill the food processor, or the cauliflower won’t evenly chop. It’s better to do this in 2-3 batches.
  • Process the cauliflower until it’s broken into pieces about the size of grians of rice. Do not overprocess or the “rice” will be mushy.
  • Over high heat, add sesame oil, and cauliflower “rice.” Saute quickly for 3-4 minutes until the cauliflower is hot. Season with sea salt and pepper, and remove from heat.
  • Serve the Tofu Tikka Masala over caulfilower rice, with lots of fresh chopped cilantro on top.
