Instructions

  1. Place the cashews into a large blender jar with the peeled and quartered onion, the tomato, ginger + garlic, and the spices. all ingredients into the jar.
  2. Blend everything to a smooth paste. If the blender is struggling, add 2-3 Tablespoons of water to help get going. 
  3. Use the tikka masala sauce to prepare a tofu tikka masala or another tikka masala dish. You can also freeze it (please see post for instructions).

Notes

  • Use fresh Ginger and Garlic (1 Tbs if chopped fine) with a ratio of 1:2 or use ready-made Ginger and garlic paste
  • The Cashews can be substitutes with peeled almonds. However, that completely changes the taste and velvety consistency.
  • Use a powerful blender such as a Vitamix for the smoothes result.
  • The recipe is without artificial red food coloring. If you want your tikka masala red (just like the store bought stuff), add red food coloring.
