Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
  • 2 14-ounce packages extra-firm or firm tofu
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil plus 2 teaspoons, divided
  • 1 large onion, halved and sliced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, quartered and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
  • ⅓ cup coconut milk

Instructions:

  • Combine garam masala, turmeric, salt and crushed red pepper (if using) in a small bowl. Cut tofu into 1-inch cubes and blot dry with paper towels. Toss the tofu in a medium bowl with 1 tablespoon of the spice mixture.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook, stirring every 2 minutes, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil, onion, bell pepper, ginger and garlic and cook, stirring often, until starting to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add flour and the remaining spice mix; stir until fragrant and coated, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender, 3 to 5 minutes more.
  • Return the tofu to the pan; cook, stirring, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in coconut milk.
