Instructions
Pressing the Tofu - a long time before (at least 30 mins)
Step 1
Wrap the tofu block with absorbent paper and place between two chopping boards, adding a few books on top of the top board to add pressure. Set aside at least 30 minutes to release all the tofu moisture.
Marinating the Tofu
Step 2
Cut the tofu block into thin slices (about 1 cm). Then pull apart the tofu slices to create irregular pieces of tofu - this mimics chicken texture the best! but you can also simply cube the tofu slices if preferred.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients: yogurt, minced garlic, garam masala, turmeric, and salt.
Step 5
Add the tofu chunks into the marinade and combine with a spoon.
Step 6
Lay the tofu pieces onto the prepared baking sheet into a single layer, make sure the tofu pieces don't touch each other or overlap.
Step 7
Bake on the center rack for 20-30 minutes, flipping them halfway. Meanwhile, prepare the curry sauce
For Curry
Step 8
Chop the onion and glaze for 3-5 mins in 2 Tbs Butter over medium heat until almost browned. Meanwhile slice the garlic and ginger in thin slices. Put cayenne pepper, garam masala, paprika powder and cinnamon together in a little bowl for the next step
Step 9
Add the garlic and the spices and let them release their aromatics until it starts to smell wonderfully :D (1 min max)
Step 10
Add ginger and tomato purree and bring to a slight simmer. Let it simmer at a medium low temperature for twenty minutes, occasionally stirring.
Step 11
Add the Butter, Honey and the heavy cream, incorporating it while stirring and let simmer another 3-5 minutes.
Step 12
