Vegetable Tikka Masala Sauce

  • 2 Tbs butter or ghee
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-inch fresh ginger, peeled and minced
  • 1 Tbs ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1 (14 ounces) can tomato sauce
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (or substitute coconut milk if vegan or vegetarian)

Directions

  1. First, prepare all your vegetables and optional protein and set them aside.
  2. Then, gather your sauce ingredients.
  3. Heat the butter or ghee in a large skillet over medium heat and cook until melted.
  4. Stir in onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  5. Next, add in garlic and ginger and cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  6. Add in the remaining spices cooking until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  7. Stir in tomato sauce into the onion and spice mixture, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low.
  8. Simmer sauce for 10 minutes, then mix in the cream or coconut milk.
  9. Bring the sauce back to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until sauce is thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. *Optionally after this step, you may transfer the sauce to a food processor or use an immersion blender to blend the sauce.
  10. Then, in a large skillet, use a bit of oil or butter on high heat to saute your vegetables. If you are cooking a protein, we recommend starting with that. Cook until your vegetables are slightly tender, then add in the sauce, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  11. Serve over rice, optionally top with minced cilantro or lime juice and enjoy!
