Whenever there is any special occasion or some family/friends get together, I prepare Vegan Butter Tofu or Vegan Tofu Butter Masala for the main course. These are classic dishes that everyone loves, plus it’s easy to cook as well. This vegan tofu butter masala is so rich in flavors and creamy that it goes perfectly with naan, plain rice, or even flavored rice like jeera rice. Here is the recipe. Bon Appetite!
