VEGAN TOFU TIKKA MASALA.

If you’ve ever tried to make Indian food at home and it just didn’t hit like the restaurant… this one’s for you.

This vegan tofu tikka masala has that rich, velvety, restaurant-style sauce, and is completely cruelty-free.

My secret? Double blending the sauce for that ultra-smooth texture.

Serve it over rice and you’re done.
