▶ METHOD:

To marinate the tofu:

Remove the tofu from the package. Dab it dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. Cut the tofu into small cubes and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the PLANTBASED YOGURT, turmeric, ground cumin, coriander, paprika, garam masala, dry fenugreek leaves (Kasuri Methi), cayenne pepper, sugar and salt. Rub the dry fenugreek leaves in your palms to powder it. This also release the flavour. Mix thoroughly until each tofu piece is coated with the marinade. Set aside to marinate, while you prep the other ingredients. DO NOT LEAVE THE TOFU TO MARINATE FOR LONGER THAN AN HOUR.

To cook the curry:

To a heat a pan and add oil, onion and 1/4 tsp salt. Fry on medium heat until the onions are golden brown. It takes about 6 to 7 minutes. Adding salt while frying the onions will release it's moisture and help it cook faster so please don’t skip it.

Add the finely chopped garlic and ginger. Fry on medium to mediumlow heat for 1 minute or until fragrant. Then add the green bell pepper and fry on medium heat for another 2 minutes. Add the tomato puree or passata and fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the marinated tofu, water and mix well. Turn up the heat and bring to a rapid simmer. Then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Remove the lid and increase the heat to mediumhigh and cook for about 1 minutes or until the gravy reaches the desired consistency. Turn off the stove. NOTE: THIS CURRY HAS A THICKER CONSISTENCY AND IS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE WATERY.
