Preparation
8 steps-
01
Cook Rice
Start the rice cooker; the sauce and rice should finish at the same time.
-
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.
-
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.
-
04
Add Onion
Add chopped onion to the spices and sauté until translucent and soft. This forms the base of your curry sauce.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

08
Add Butter
Add as much butter as preferred, then serve.
