Let's make my  Tofu Tikka Masala!

Once the toasted spices have cooled, grind in a spice grinder.

Combine the freshly ground spices with the other tikka masala spices in a bowl.

Combine tikka spice blend with plant-based yogurt, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, oil and salt. Mix well.

Add marinade to tofu and toss until well-coated. Marinate in the fridge for 2-8 hours.

Chop onion, mince garlic, grate ginger, chop peppers, dice tomatoes and chop cilantro stems.
