Ingredients

  • 1 block firm tofu 453 g
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil 30 mL
  • 1 shallot finely chopped, about ½ cup
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp each cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, salt
  • 1 oz can coconut milk 400 g
  • 1 oz can diced tomatoes 400 g
  • To serve: rice, cilantro

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Rice: If serving with rice, get that started now.
  2. Tofu: Pat dry tofu, then cut it into bite-sized cubes. Heat oil in a large pot or pan, then add cubed tofu. Cook until tofu is golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 10 minutes.
  3. Flavor: Add the shallot and garlic to the pan, continuing to cook until shallot is soft and fragrant, another 2 minutes.
  4. Spices: Stir in garam masala, cumin, coriander, paprika, and salt to evenly coat the tofu.
  5. Cans: Add the can of coconut milk and (undrained) diced tomatoes. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and let cook for 15 minutes.
  6. Serve: Serve warm over rice, topped with fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • Storage: If stored in an airtight container, both rice and curry will reheat well in the next day or two. They are best stored separately!
