I’m always searching for easy vegetarian recipes that really expand our taste horizons, so I’m excited to share this delicious grilled tofu Tikka Masala with oven roasted potatoes recipe! It’s such a fun way to celebrate other cultures. I am in love with Tofu lately. Ever since I tried it in this easy recipe, I cannot stop experimenting with it. I don’t know about you, but when I discover a new ingredient, I try to use it in different recipes.

Some turn out great (like the one I am sharing below), and some don’t work. Obviously, I don’t try a new dish when I have guests. I make sure to try it beforehand, and my family is open to trying new things. (I mean, they don’t have much of a choice). Today’s recipe was inspired by the Vaisakhi; the harvest festival celebrated in the Punjab region of Indian! It was celebrated on April the 13th and I thought it was an excellent idea to mix a little of India in my recipe to honor this celebration.
