Goan Tofu Curry
8 oz block of firm tofu cut into 1 cm cubes
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 level tablespoon Dijon mustard
? teaspoon salt
1 large onion very thinly sliced
About 2 cm of root ginger peeled and finely chopped
4 cloves garlic chopped
? tablespoon ground coriander
? tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 cloves
A pinch of cinnamon
4 ripe tomatoes skinned and chopped
1/3 of a block creamed coconut grated
1 tablespoon tomato puree
Notes
Serve garnished with fresh chopped coriander, basmati rice (try adding a couple of bay leaves and some cardamom seeds to the rice whilst it is cooking) and lots of fresh green salad!.
Method
First shallow fry the tofu cubes over a not too high heat until well seared!. Then place in a bowl with the vinegar mustard and salt and mix until the tofu is evenly coated!.
Put some oil in a pan and over a low heat cook the onions and ginger until the onions become very soft and start to disintegrate!. Don't worry if the onions brown a little and start to stick to the bottom of the pan just stir well occasionally!. This take time but is worth it for the wonderful sweet flavour you achieve!.
Add the garlic and spices and allow to slowly cook for 5 minutes more!.
Add the marinated tofu, you will find a lot of the marinade also goes into the pan - this just adds to the flavour!. also add the creamed coconut, chopped tomatoes and tomato puree!.
Cover and simmer for 10 minutes!. Try to retrieve the 2 cloves before serving as crunching unexpectedly on one of these can be an unpleasant experience!.

Throw some veggies in a pan with a little bit of olive oil, let 'em simmer for a bit, throw in your tofu, mix it up a bunch, put in some seasoning of some kind (whatever looks good in your pantry should do fine) and voila! Instant healthy snack!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I'm not sure how healthy it is!. But I like to use tofu to make a sort of tofu pancake!. I slice up the tofu and bread it in a mix of cornmeal, raw sugar, and salt!. Then I fry it in a pan for a few minutes and put maple syrup on it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
