Butter Masala with Crispy Tofu
Prep time: 5 mins / Cook time: 20 mins/ Serves 4
This rich and creamy butter masala is better than takeout, and a curry-lovers dream! Pan-frying the tofu gets it good and crispy, and simmering the butter sauce is as simple as it sounds. Serve by spooning the sauce over the tofu and a bed of basmati rice, or with a side of garlic naan bread. It's the stuff of dreams, really, and you definitely can't go wrong.
Ingredients
- 14 oz tofu
- 3 tbs cornstarch
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 1 jar Lotus Kitchen Butter Masala Sauce
- 2 cups Basmati rice
- Cilantro, for garnish
- Salt
Directions
- Pat the tofu dry to remove as much moisture as possible. Chop into cubes and toss in cornstarch.
- Add olive oil to a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and pan-try the tofu until it becomes golden and crispy, about 8-10 minutes.
- Pour the contents of the Lotus Kitchen Butter Masala jar into a separate saucepan. Bring to a simmer over low heat.
- Cook basmati rice according to package instructions.
- Serve tofu over the rice and top with a few heaping spoonfuls of Masala Butter sauce. Garnish with cilantro and a sprinkle of flaky salt.
