Seitan Tikka Masala

Seitan Tikka Masala

Seitan Tikka Masala made with a chick’ny seitan. We used a recipe from Isa Chandra Moskowitz to prepare our seitan chick’n, but we’ve found another great recipe by Domestic Gothess. You could also substitute the seitan for a store-bought plant-based chick’n alternative. If you’re looking for an alternative to coconut milk, you may try unsweetened, unflavored soy milk or cashew milk.

Ingredients

  • Olive oil for cooking

  3. Deglaze the skillet with a splash of water or white vinegar and scrape the pan with a wooden spoon.
  4. In the same hot skillet, add another splash of oil to coat the pan, add in the onions, and cook for 5 minutes.

  6. Add in the remaining seasonings and stir for 2 minutes.
