- 3. Add the Tofu mixture into the sauce and cook for 5 minutes on medium heat. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Tips:
- Use extra-firm tofu: This will help the tofu hold its shape and absorb the marinade better.
- Press the tofu before marinating: This will help remove excess water and allow the marinade to penetrate more deeply.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give the tofu its flavor, so make sure to use a flavorful combination of spices and herbs.
- Let the tofu marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than overnight: This will give the tofu time to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
- Cook the tofu over medium heat: This will help prevent the tofu from burning or sticking to the pan.
- Serve the tofu with your favorite sides: Tofu tikka masala can be served with rice, naan, or vegetables.
