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.
Nothing like fresh herbs to celebrate new beginnings! As a Cultured Kitchen ambassador, Patak’s Canada challenged me to create an authentic festive dish to mark the new year. I made this easy Grilled tofu Tikka Masala with oven roasted potatoes.What a delicious challenge!

This dish looks delicious. I have honestly never tried tofu before, and have been kind of afraid to try it because it is so unfamiliar to me. You make it seem really easy to work with, though.
My son and I would end up being the ones eating this. He doesn’t like a whole lot of meat and I like food. All food!
Awesome, let me know how he likes it
I love a good vegetarian dish. Even though I have never eaten tofu before this actually looks quite tasty. I have heard that it takes some getting used to.
With the appropriate sauces (such as Tikka Masala), Tofu is awesome
I love tofu, it’s so versatile and it goes great with spices and pretty much any sauce you can think of. This sounds like a great recipe, thanks for sharing it. It looks so good too!
Thank you. It is delicious
I’ve never had tofu, but this looks delicious. Thanks for sharing
Give it a try and let me know. I have started eating Tofu few weeks ago.
I’m not a tofu girl, but I want to be. But as tikki masala, it might be hard to not love it!
Tikka Masala is amazing
I don’t do tofu because of allergies, but I am going to try this recipe with chicken. It sounds delicious.
Chicken is a great replacement
I love the flavors in this, and it makes it so easy to have a delicious meal for the family. I’ll look for it!
Thank you.
I keep hearing everyone say that tofu does not taste bad. I need to try it while it looks like this! This looks delicious.

This looks really good. Looks like it’s so simple to make too. I’m always looking for different recipes that are easy to make for the family.
The masala sauce looks so good. That’s a great time-saving meal as well.
Yummy recipe! I just recently got into tofu so I have to try this recipe out! Bookmarked!
Wow this really does look easy! I have a few vegetarian friends myself and sometimes, I have a hard time trying to think of what to cook for them when they come over.
I have not had tofu before like this!! This sounds like a great meal to make up like this, the flavor sounds delicious!
I’ve been on a tofu kick lately too. We’ve made a lot of Sweet and Sour Tofu, but this looks amazing also. We’ll have to try it!
I love Tikka Masala! I have never had it with Tofu, but I like tofu too, so I am sure this is a winner!
It is a winner,
I have never eaten tofu. I have an allergy to the main ingredient, but this looks delicious!!
I make a tofu stir fry. The same as chicken stir fry except I substitute the chicken with tofu. My kids love it!
Oh my kids love the tofu stir fry. So delicious
I love Tikka Masala and Patak’s has the best sauces! I find that dishes with tofu have more flavor when marinated or rubbed with spices prior to grilling.
Tikka Masala is soo good. I agree about Tofu
