tofu-"butter-chicken"-(en)

This is one of my signature recipes, directly inspired from La Cuisine de Bernard. I substituted chicken for tofu, and butter with vegan butter. The secret to give this recipe all its flavour is to nail the sauce, so it doesn't matter what kind of "meat" you use. The tofu is first marinated overnight in yogurt, lemon, garlic, ginger and spices, and is then fried. The sauce comes next: it is capital to really caramelise the onions to pack the sauce with flavour. In Maillard's reaction we trust! To be served with basmati rice, or (homemade) warm naans.
