Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Press the tofu for at least 15 minutes to remove excess water, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
Aproximativ 15 min.
Nota bucătarului: Pressing tofu helps it absorb flavors better and achieve a crispier texture.
2
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Aproximativ 1 min.
3
Add the tofu cubes to the pan and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and slightly crispy on all sides. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.
Aproximativ 10 min.
Nota bucătarului: Do not overcrowd the pan; cook the tofu in batches if necessary.
4
Reduce the heat to medium and add the yellow onion to the same pan. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.
Aproximativ 7 min.
5
Add the garlic and ginger to the pan and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Be careful not to burn the garlic.
6
Stir in the garam masala, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder. Cook for another minute, stirring constantly, to toast the spices.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Toasting spices enhances their aroma and flavor.
7
Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Aproximativ 10 min.
8
Stir in the full-fat coconut milk and sugar. Return the cooked tofu to the pan and gently mix to coat.
Aproximativ 2 min.
9
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, uncovered, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Aproximativ 5 min.
10
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if using, and serve hot with rice or naan bread.
