Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Place the block of tofu onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3 to 5 pound weight on top (a container filled with water works well). Press the tofu for 20 to 30 minutes, then drain off and discard the accumulated liquid.
- Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
- Whisk the yogurt, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons cumin, cayenne pepper, paprika, 1 teaspoon garam masala, and minced ginger together in a bowl. Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch cubes, and gently stir into the yogurt mixture. Arrange the tofu cubes onto the prepared baking sheet so they do not touch each other.
- Bake the tofu in the preheated oven until the tofu has firmed and the sauce is no longer sticky, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Gently turn the tofu every 15 minutes during baking.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the garlic and serrano peppers in the hot butter until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the coriander, 2 teaspoons cumin, 2 teaspoons garam masala, and salt. Cook another minute to release the fragrance of the spices. Add the tomato sauce and cauliflower florets; cover and cook, stirring frequently until the cauliflower is tender, about 15 minutes.
- Once the cauliflower is tender, stir in the half-and-half, peas, cilantro, and baked tofu cubes. Bring to a simmer, and cook 5 minutes, or until your desired thickness is attained.

This wasn't a BAD dish, but I expected more flavor. With all the cumin, corriander, ginger, and marsala I was dissapointed with the blandness. I did enjoy the texture of the tufo, baking it prio...

Great recipe! I can tell it was highly inspired from the Tikka Masala recipe on this site (even tasted mostly the same), but improved upon. I only used one serrano pepper, since I'm pretty spice...

My family likes spicy food however, I tested the first serrano I cut open and decided to use just one (instead of 3). It was the perfect amount of heat---any more and it would have overpowered ...

Very good! It's surprisingly spicy, considering how little hot stuff is in it, but that's just the way I like it!

I made this recipe without peas (because I hate peas!) and with 1 serrano instead of 3. I also reduced the bake time on the tofu to 30 minutes, stirring the tofu after 15 minutes. I only did thi...

This was a great dish. We are vegan so I substituted the yogurt for vegan sour cream mixed with a little soy milk. That worked wonderfully. Using soy milk in place of the half and half did n...

This was delicious. The only thing I changed was that after reading the reviews I decided to start with one pepper which ended up being perfect for our tastes. I also left out the garlic due to ...

Fantastic! I felt like I was at an Indian restaurant. I did not have all of the spices, so I did without the coriander and cilantro. This is a spicy recipe, so if you like things mild, you sh...
