Preparation

8 steps
  1. 01

    Cook Rice

    Start the rice cooker; the sauce and rice should finish at the same time.

  2. 02

    Fry the Tofu

    Heat oil in a skillet and fry cubed tofu until golden brown on all sides. This creates a crispy exterior and adds flavor to the tofu.

  3. 03

    Fry the Spices

    In the same skillet, add butter and fry the spices (garam masala, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili powder) for about 1 minute to release their flavors.

  4. 04

    Add Onion

    Add chopped onion to the spices and sauté until translucent and soft. This forms the base of your curry sauce.

  5. 05

    Add Tomato

    Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and cook for a few minutes to combine the flavors. The tomatoes will break down and establish a thick sauce. Add water as preferred.

  6. 06

    Blend with Coconut Cream

    Transfer the mixture to a blender, add coconut cream, and blend until smooth. This creates a creamy, rich curry sauce. Transfer the mixture back to the skillet.

  7. 07

    Simmer with Tofu

    Return the blended sauce to the skillet, add the fried tofu back in, and simmer for about 5 minutes. This allows the tofu to absorb the flavors of the curry sauce.

  8. 08

    Add Butter

    Add as much butter as preferred, then serve.
