The left edge of this picture gives me anxiety.
Is it pouring off the side of the plate? We’ll never know!

Nope. The sauce was store bought. But sustainably vegan has a tofu tikka masala recipe
I’ve made this recipe before and it’s fantastic - looks a little different than OP, but I’d still recommend it. https://www.cookingcarnival.com/instant-pot-tofu-tikka-masala/
I do a couple things differently, like I skip the sieve and am super thorough with the immersion blender instead. A couple dry red (arbol?) chiles from the Mexican foods section of the grocery store work well.
My dad and I are both omnivores (him being less adventurous than I) and I made this one time. When I told him what I was making, he joked about going to McDonald’s instead. He had 3 helpings.
I also have a friend from India. I’m sure it’s not authentic, but he really likes this one (to be fair, he says that about everything I make. I don’t think it’s out of pure politeness, but I try not to get too arrogant about it either 😉 )

I’m kind of terrible with tofu and thick sauces; even with extra firm tofu that I’ve pressed and frozen/unfrozen, I manage to make it crumble anout 90% of the time, so this is always wizardry to me.
Granted, I don’t deep fry it because it’s such a huge pain to deep fry so that’s probably my problem…
Do you think that seitan would hold up well with this? I’d think it’d mimic chicken well, while the tofu is moreso the paneer replacement.

I find medium firm tofu holds together better when cooking in sauces like this. It’s less brittle than firm tofu and has some give under pressure so it bends/squishes instead of crumbling.
I buy the extra firm and press it for an hour to get as much moisture out as I can. Then toss it in some corn starch and make until it’s crispy.
