COOKING STEPS
-
1 Prep the Tofu: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Cut the tofu into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes and press gently with paper towels to remove excess liquid.
-
2 Coat the Tofu: In one shallow bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water. In another bowl, combine the garlic powder, white sesame seeds, and black sesame seeds. Dip each tofu cube first into the cornstarch mixture, then roll in the sesame seed blend until evenly coated.
-
3 Air Fry: Lightly spray the coated tofu cubes with vegetable oil spray. Air fry for 15–20 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
-
4 Warm the Masala: While the tofu is air frying, warm the Tasty Bite Vegetable Tikka Masala in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the coconut milk until smooth and heated through.
-
5 Combine & Serve: Once the tofu is crisp, gently fold the cubes into the warm tikka masala sauce to coat. Spoon generously over warm Jasmine rice and serve immediately!
