With its rich, tangy, and luscious tomato sauce, tikka masala is a beloved classic of Indian takeout menus. In contributor Antara Sinha’s entirely vegan version, she swaps the usual chicken or paneer for firm tofu. The tofu is a versatile sponge, readily soaking up the rich, spiced sauce. Best of all, the dish comes together in under 45 minutes, making it as fast—if not faster!—than most takeout.
