Vegan tikka masala leaps over two hurdles: dairy and meat. Tikka masala is typically a chicken dish, but in this version from Registered Dietitian Ashley Koff, tofu is used to make it vegetarian. For the dairy, everyday dairy-free alternatives are used and the cheese is skipped. Trust me, it really isn’t needed with all of these delicious spices!

If you’re concerned about soy for general health reasons, consider sourcing non-GMO organic tofu made with whole soy (not isolated soy proteins). Wildwood Foods offers a great line-up of organic, sprouted, whole soy tofu products.
