Ingredients
15 mL (1 tbsp) vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
8 cloves garlic, minced
30 ml (2 tbsp) minced ginger
10 mL (2 tsp) cumin
10 mL (2 tsp) paprika
10 mL (2 tsp) chili powder
10 mL (2 tsp) Garam masala
10 mL (2 tsp) coriander
2 mL (1⁄2 tsp) salt
1 can (796 mL/28 oz) diced tomatoes
250 mL (1 cup) water
85 mL (⅓ cup) coconut milk
1 package (400 g/14 oz) extra firm tofu, diced
Instructions
1. In a large pot, heat the oil and add onions. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until translucent. Stir in the garlic, ginger, cumin, paprika, chili powder, garam masala, coriander, and salt. Cook for 1 minute.
2. Pour in the tomatoes, water, and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes to thicken.
3. Blend sauce until smooth. Add the tofu and stir gently to coat. Simmer for 5 minutes.
In this recipe, tofu takes on warm and spicy Indian flavours. Try serving it over brown rice or with whole wheat naan (flat bread).

Mix it up
Instead of serving this curry with rice, make a quick veggie side dish by tossing cauliflower florets in the same masala spices and roasting in the oven for 20 minutes or until tender.
Chef’s Tip
For a less spicy meal, simply use less chili powder.
