This turned out pretty well. However, I had difficulty cutting the acidic edge of all the tomatoes. I de-veganized it by adding a 2 T Ghee which helped make it a bit creamier and cut the sourness of the yogurt. Also, I'm unsure if marinading the tofu is worthwhile. I let it sit for nearly 24 hours and it didn't seem to have much of an impact. Perhaps my local variety of tofu is simply too dense. I want to make this again and integrate some other Tikka recipe ideas.

I'm a grad student and also teach at two different schools, so I need some fast/easy recipes. I try to eat vegan, and most of my creations are also gluten-free because my husband is Diabetic/Celiac. I don't post any recipes I have not personally tried and liked.
