At least one hour before cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are using tofu Press the tofu for at least&nbsp;<strong>30 minutes<\/strong>&nbsp;to remove excess water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. (a) Prepare the marinade with  vegan yogurt, garlic, ginger, garam masala, turmeric, and salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(b) If you want to skip the marination then   Simply toss pressed tofu in some cornstarch and the same seasonings listed and pan-fry until crispy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Heat a large saucepan on medium high heat and add 1-2 tablespoons of oil. Add the marinated tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides.
