Vegan Butter 'chicken' Recipe
Makes 4-6 servings

2 white onions, chopped
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1-2" piece of fresh ginger, grated
2 tbsp garam masala
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp coriander
2 Tbsp Red curry paste
1 large can (800 ml) of diced tomatoes
2 tbsp of tomato paste.
2 cans coconut milk

3 Cups of dry soy curls, rehydrated
1/2 cup arrowroot starch
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp garlic powder


Directions:
1. Add chopped onions to a preheated frying pan. Once the onions turn translucent and start to release their liquid, add the garlic and ginger and sauté together for a few minutes.
2. Add the spices, and red curry paste, stir it around in the bottom of the pan for a minute or two just to help bring out the flavours.
3. Add diced tomatoes and tomato paste, stir well and bring to a low simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Add 2 cups of coconut milk and return to a low simmer.
5. Rehydrate soy curls by soaking in warm water for 5 minutes. Strain and squeeze out excess water.
6. Mix together the coating for the soy curls in a large bowl (arrowroot starch, pepper, salt, paprika and garlic powder). Coat the soy curls evenly in the mixture.
7. In a preheated frying pan, fry the soy curls until golden brown.
8. Add soy curls to the butter chicken sauce. Simmer together for another 5-10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

2 block of tofu ripped up or cubed
1/2 cup arrow root starch
1/2 tsp pepper/salt
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp garlic powder

Directions: Coat tofu and bake @375F for 30 mins. Add to the butter chicken sauce when done. Simmer together and serve!
