Questions
Is it vegan?
Not with ordinary tikka marinade. Use the coconut yoghurt version and swap the Greek yoghurt topping for coconut yoghurt.
Can I use butternut squash?
Yes. Cut it into similar sized chunks and roast for the same time.
Can I add paneer?
Yes. Add 250 g cubed paneer for the last 15 minutes of roasting.
