- 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder

Instructions
Press the extra firm tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut it into cubes and set aside.
Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and green chili.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the cumin seeds. Let them sizzle for a few seconds.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Add the garlic, ginger, and green chili, and sauté for another 2 minutes.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they are soft and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
Mix in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt.
Lower the heat and add the coconut milk. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes.
Carefully fold in the tofu cubes, ensuring they are well coated with the gravy.
Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the tofu is heated through and the flavors meld together.
Sprinkle garam masala and stir gently.
Garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with rice or flatbread.
