Vegan Butter Chicken

Step 1

Put your oil in a large pan and bring up to a medium-high heat.

Step 2

Fry the onion until it starts to soften and turn translucent.

Step 3

Add the garlic, ginger, spices, bay leaf and cook for a couple of minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the passata, give it a stir and bring up to a simmer.

Step 5

Stir in the cream, butter and ground almonds - if the curry starts to look too thick at this point, just add some water, as the almonds can cause it to thicken up.

Step 6

Add the tofu and simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 7

Put the peas and lime juice in (if using), give it a good stir and season to taste, around 1/4 teaspoon of salt should be enough.

Step 8

Serve up with rice and some of our delicious naan bread.
