I love how you use so many different ingredients that's a part of Indian cuisine. Being an Indian, it helps me really well to replicate your recipes easily.
Just tell me want to point out that you should probably use really really firm tofu, which is probably what she’s using here don’t use the silken tofu or anything like that that’s more for like smoothies do you want the extra firm kind
Hey guys, do you know if this recipe goes well without adding the coconut milk? Because my Turkish taste buds are not really familiar with coconut flavor at a meal.
@@hatice7054 if you are not vegan, you can use also heavy cream. But coconut cream doesn't have a strong taste especially with all the spices added to this recipe.
Try to add 2-3 cardamon (whole) into the pan at the beginning. Add some cashew nuts (10-15) to the sauce and BLEND the sauce before adding the tofu. Just a suggestion.
Oh I love This I love me Some Tofu - Fried As Well Firm Is The Best After You Freeze It And Press The Water Out Of It .. Ya Gotta Love Indian Dishes ..
I made butter chicken on Wednesday but I have an absolute crap tonne of silken tofu to use up before its date in July. I might have to get on this! Stupidly I bought firm thinking it'd be more suitable for cooking but it's so wet, even after pressing 😅
@@nolow_life It's firm silken tofu. I don't like it as much as extra firm because of the high moisture content. I've been struggling for recipes other than just frying it 😅
@@amybooth1993 super interesting! I've never heard of that. Over here silken is the absolute softest that you can get, and firm is the hardest you can get. I didn't know they had one where they combined the name of the softest and the hardest
@@nolow_life I live in the UK and ordered from Amazon. I didn't know there were different ones until I tried to order! I could have ordered extra firm but it was cheaper to buy firm 😅
Love your recipes & wanted to let you know, RUclips changed the way shorts display in my subscription list, so I missed your past few videos. I noticed this video in the recommends on my home page, but it wasn’t in my subscribed videos list. Now all shorts are clumped together in a horizontal thread & you have to scroll over horizontally to see them all. 😢

Cook Rajmah Chawal! Authentic India recipe!
Would you cook Butter Chicken!
@@bikramjitsingh8708 killing and eating chickens is not cruelty free....
Add 2 spoons of cashew butter.... Or just soaked and blended cashew paste.... This will become so so creamy ❤
Exactly. Like peanut butter made with blendetd peanuts
I feel like that wouldn't be butter tofu instead it'll be shahi tofu ifywim
She added coconut milk for creaminess
Yep just the right ingredient needed ❤🎉

Vegan version of Butter Paneer ❤❤❤❤
Just tell me want to point out that you should probably use really really firm tofu, which is probably what she’s using here don’t use the silken tofu or anything like that that’s more for like smoothies do you want the extra firm kind
@@Dolcevita_bakes ?
Lemon juice will kind of make the coconut milk curdle so add it when it's off heat.
Not at those quantities
@@Bllue really? Coz everytym i did mine always curdled
Please try using fresh tomatoes and roast it along with the onion and garlic till they soften
Then blend!!
You have become my go to for tofu dishes inspo. 😊
Tip if you want to make tofu taste more like paneer, soak it in a hot brine for 30 minutes then drain, it makes it so delicious
WHAT IS Brine?
@@tinaazbamboat9252 just really salty water, a couple teaspoons per cup
Thanks
Considering butter masala is my favorite I will definitely be trying this 💙🤤
love your recipes and lovely character
looks soooooo good omg
Yo girl has made panneer butter masala with tofu. I already suggested that and thanks girl
The best food with tofu I’ve ever tasted
I don’t know why but the salt 🧂 containers remind me so much of my childhood…anyone from Germany 🇩🇪 as well?
Here 🙋♀️ but not living in Germany anymore.
I also know those salt containers.

@@Nyla_ okay, thanks for the suggestions!
ADD Cashew or Almond butter... Any nut butter except Walnut would be a Good Substitute...
had to try this and it was sooo delicious! we had it with the fluffy garlic naan, definitely recommend both :)
love ur outfit :D
Add kasturi methi in the end, it adds a really nice buttery flavour
Try to add 2-3 cardamon (whole) into the pan at the beginning. Add some cashew nuts (10-15) to the sauce and BLEND the sauce before adding the tofu. Just a suggestion.
Yeah. I’ve made this and it was delicious
Tried this today and served with some naan. It was delicious! Thank you ❤
I make this already, I never thought about cooking the tofu up front though!
I really enjoy your videos
Wahnsinnig gut! Ich hab es zusammen mit deinem Garlic Naan gemacht und es hat geschmeckt wie bestellt 🥰
Looks scrumptious 😋 yummy 😋
Oh I love This I love me Some Tofu - Fried As Well Firm Is The Best After You Freeze It And Press The Water Out Of It .. Ya Gotta Love Indian Dishes ..
Id recommend u marinating the tofu in yougurt and adding spices then baking it or pan frying it.
I am obessed with the way you say "sugar" and "pePERRRRRR"
Don't add lemon when the stove is on
How come
@@nolow_life heat kills vitamin C
@@nolow_life because the coconut milk will start to cuddle if the lemon juice is added when the stove is on.
Sieht SO GUT aus❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!!

So You have both silken tofu and firm tofu that you need to use up?
@@nolow_life It's firm silken tofu. I don't like it as much as extra firm because of the high moisture content. I've been struggling for recipes other than just frying it 😅
@@amybooth1993 super interesting! I've never heard of that. Over here silken is the absolute softest that you can get, and firm is the hardest you can get. I didn't know they had one where they combined the name of the softest and the hardest

And your my most popular cook ❤
Just bought your cookbook!
She didn’t say her usual “pepperrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…”
My anxiety when I realized you squeezed the lemon, which contains seeds :

Replacing paneer with tofu in our good old paneer butter masala
INDIANS ASSEMBLE 🇮🇳
👇
OMG!! This is called shahi paneer in india just with cottage cheese instead of tofu😊😊❤❤
Me laughing in butter paneer 😂
The next day, it was even more delicious
You should either add dried fenugreek leaves or coriander to this to make it more authentic.
It’d be great, if you could quote the country from which you take inspiration from for most of the vids (India), still a huge supporter though :D
Ayo wheres that pepperrrrrrr?!
Heute nachgemacht, zusammen mit dem Naan ! Sehr lecker. Portionen stimmen beim Naan für uns nicht 😂... hätte auch die dreifache Menge sein können
Everyone in my family loved it. My annoying cousin couldn't believe he liked something vegan ;D
In brasil that would be a vegan strogonoff
Vegan version of panner butter masala?

Now all shorts are clumped together in a horizontal thread & you have to scroll over horizontally to see them all. 😢
And if I just add fresh tofu to the sauce will it still taste like nothing? Is it better to pan fry it with spices first?
It needs some cashew❤
Takes butter chicken gravy from Indian food, just replaces chicken with tofu....
EVERYONE 😮😮😮😮😮😮
How you said garam masala do you know Urdu/Hindi??
So basically it is Shahi paneer...but for vegans
my asian heart broke a little when you tore the tofu😢😂
Tearing it is supposed to help it grab onto seasoning and help with getting crispier bits when frying
@@SarahDennahmm that makes sense, when I cut them cubic they don’t coated with seasoning well. I will try with tearing this time
love the content but you do know there’s hundreds of different types of chilis, what specific chili powder did you use ?
Chili powder is mostly cayenne pepper
Ist das Kokos raus schmeckbar?
My salt is is the same kind of container, same size , same color. That’s why started to follow you. 😂
This is formal recipe of indian
How it become your recipe u just added tofu instead of chicken☺
on what temperatur??
💜🖤💜🖤
Why do tofu smells or tastes so weird?
Love the recipe - but my goodness - your abs are so cut!
I think i miss some vegetables in this sauce..!
You can also add panner (cottage cheese).......but it will not be VEGAN
Or just not, and leave animals alone. It's very easy to replicate paneer with tofu and not exploit someone that doesn't want to be exploited
You should try Paneer Ghee Roast
Neither paneer nor ghee is vegan
Butter paneer masala smiling from the corner😏
Why no hummus?
Is hummus usually in butter chicken ???
@@freyjablue. BIG NO
I think it would be better if you optimised your recipes before writing a cookbook
I wanted to start eating tofu but I just read that tofu is not good for the women’s body. 😢
We have it in india, you did not create this
She never said she did genius
Tofu again …
Tofu gives me constipation. Life is no good without happy bowels so let the cows die if need be.
This recipe is based on butter chicken so no cows involved in any step except for dairy
…….??????????
You know there are other plant based options besides tofu right?
