Recipe and Photos by Maya Kaimal Kitchen

Tofu Tikka Masala is a high-protein, plant-based twist on the classic Indian curry, featuring marinated tofu cubes simmered in a creamy, spiced tomato-based sauce.

This recipe uses Hodo Organic Extra Firm Tofu, crafted using traditional methods. Dense and ready to use straight from the package, it requires no pressing—just toss the cubes in oil and garam masala, then roast until the spices bloom. Once submerged in the Maya Kaimal Vegan Tikka Masala simmer sauce, the tofu keeps its shape and is coated in rich flavor.

You get authentic, bold flavor without the fuss—ready in under 30 minutes. Serve over rice, with naan, or alongside flatbread for a comforting, protein-packed meal.
