Cut it into small cubes.

In a bowl, mix the tofu cubes with vegan yoghurt, lemon juice, cumin powder, red chilli powder, garam masala, Kashmiri red chilli powder, and salt. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour.

Heat oil in a pan. Add chopped onion and ginger-garlic paste. Cook until the onion becomes soft and the paste loses its raw smell.

Add chopped tomatoes, turmeric, cumin, red chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well and cover the pan. Cook until the tomatoes are soft.

Let the mixture cool and then blend it into a smooth paste. Keep aside.

In the same pan, heat some oil and cook the marinated tofu until it turns golden brown.

Add the masala paste to the tofu. Mix well. Add water if needed and adjust the spices. Cook until the gravy thickens.

Add coconut milk and simmer for 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
