Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 (16 ounce) package tofu
½ cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 serrano peppers, seeded and minced
4 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons garam masala
½ teaspoon salt
1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 small head cauliflower, cut into florets
2 cups half-and-half cream
1 cup frozen peas
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Place the block of tofu onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3 to 5 pound weight on top (a container filled with water works well). Press the tofu for 20 to 30 minutes, then drain off and discard the accumulated liquid.
  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
  • Whisk the yogurt, lemon juice, 2 teaspoons cumin, cayenne pepper, paprika, 1 teaspoon garam masala, and minced ginger together in a bowl. Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch cubes, and gently stir into the yogurt mixture. Arrange the tofu cubes onto the prepared baking sheet so they do not touch each other.
  • Bake the tofu in the preheated oven until the tofu has firmed and the sauce is no longer sticky, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Gently turn the tofu every 15 minutes during baking.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the garlic and serrano peppers in the hot butter until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the coriander, 2 teaspoons cumin, 2 teaspoons garam masala, and salt. Cook another minute to release the fragrance of the spices. Add the tomato sauce and cauliflower florets; cover and cook, stirring frequently until the cauliflower is tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Once the cauliflower is tender, stir in the half-and-half, peas, cilantro, and baked tofu cubes. Bring to a simmer, and cook 5 minutes, or until your desired thickness is attained.
