Critical Success Points

  • Marinating the vegetables and tofu evenly with turmeric, salt, pepper, oil and lemon juice.
  • Not over‑charing the broiled tikka; remove as soon as edges are lightly browned.
  • Cooling the sautéed onion‑pepper mixture completely before blending to avoid pressure build‑up.
  • Adding whole spices over low heat to prevent burning.
  • Simmering the final curry on low heat for 12 minutes to allow flavors to meld without reducing too much.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oven and broiler with oven mitts to avoid burns.
  • Be careful when removing skewers; the ends can be sharp.
  • Hot oil can splatter; keep a safe distance while sautéing.
