Better than chicken, this Indian tofu dish is easy to make and a staple for life on the road.

Ingredients:

• ½ lb. super firm tofu, cubed
• ¼ cup flour or rice flour
• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 2 Tbsp. plant butter
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
• small knob ginger, grated
• 1 Tbsp. garam masala
• 1 tsp. cumin
• ½ tsp. cayenne (more or less to taste)
• ¼ cup tomato paste
• 8 oz. coconut milk
• Salt and pepper
• Cilantro or parsley, and lime wedges (opt.)

Preparation:

Dredge cubed tofu in flour, shake off the excess, and saute in 1 tablespoon olive oil until golden on all sides. Drain on paper towels. In a saucepan, saute onion, garlic, and ginger in 1 tablespoon olive oil and plant butter until vegetables are soft. Add remaining ingredients and simmer gently. Adjust seasoning as needed and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with rice, lime wedges, and cilantro or parsley if desired.
