Step 1

In a bowl, combine tofu with all of the ingredients for the tofu marinade; let marinate for 30 minutes to an hour (or overnight if time allows).

Step 2

Heat oil in a large skillet or pot over medium-high heat. When sizzling, add tofu pieces in batches, making sure not to crowd the pan. Fry until browned. Set aside and keep warm.

Step 3

Heat butter or ghee in the same pan. Fry the onions until they start to sweat (about 6 minutes) while scraping up any browned bits stuck on the bottom of the pan.

Step 4

Add garlic and ginger and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, then add ground coriander, cumin and garam masala. Let cook for about 20 seconds until fragrant, while stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Add crushed tomatoes, chili powder and salt. Let simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens and becomes a deep brown red colour.

Step 6

Remove from heat, use a stick blender to blend until smooth. You may need to add a couple tablespoons of water to help it blend (up to 1/4 cup).

Step 7

Stir the cream, sugar and crushed kasoori methi (or fenugreek leaves) through the sauce. Add the tofu back into the pan and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until the sauce is thick and bubbling.

Step 8

Serve with fresh, hot garlic butter rice and fresh homemade Naan bread!
