Paneer Butter Masala is one of the popular and common curries you can order in restaurants. It is a traditional Indian recipe in which soft pieces of Paneer are cooked in rich creamy butter & tomato gravy. It goes by various names like Butter Paneer, Paneer Makhani, etc.
What is Tofu Butter Masala?
Tofu butter masala is nothing but a vegan version of paneer butter masala. My vegan version features Tofu simmered in a flavorful tomato and spice base. The best way to serve up this is to pair them with Naan, Phulka Roti or Paratha, or even steamed rice. With a little prep work ahead of time, this recipe can be completed in 30-35 minutes. The prep work is not too complicated either. Just soak cashews in warm water for an hour and you are good to go!
