My lovely lovely partner created this amazing vegan version of a butter chicken curry. I take no credit in this!
This recipe actually uses no butter, but surprisingly tastes so buttery just the way I remember the sauce of butter chicken. Though if you would like a more buttery flavour, then add nuttelex to taste!
Ingredients
2 onions
2 tablespoons of ginger
6 garlic cloves
1 1/2 tablespoon of garam masala
1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
2 teaspoons of curry powder

1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
3-4 tablespoons of tomato sauce
2 blocks of tofu (or replace with cauliflower or a mix)
Two cans of coconut milk (about 500mL)
Cornstarch
Coriander for topping
