Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz block of tofu
  • 1 1/2 cups full fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 lemon or 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tbsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp white sugar
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Pat your tofu dry with a towel, then cut tofu into thin and wide strips, about 18 pieces total. Set aside.
  2. In a skillet, heat add the coconut milk and all dry spices. Heat for about 15 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning, until the sauce looks well incorporated.
    3. The coconut milk will slowly thicken and reduce. This is normal.
  3. Gently lay your tofu pieces into the sauce. Cook on low heat so the tofu has time to absorb the sauce and spices. Stir lightly to avoid burning.
  4. After about ten minutes, add your favorite veggies into the pan and toss in the leftover sauce, if desired.
  5. After everything is well coated, squirt your lemon over the top of the pan.
  6. Serve with rice or noodles and enjoy!
