Tofu Aloo Gobi
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into small florets
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh or jarred ginger
- 1 teaspoon garam masala or good-quality curry powder, or more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 8 ounces firm or extra-firm tofu, sliced, blotted dry, and cut into small dice
- 2 medium or 3 plum tomatoes, diced
- 1/2 cup frozen green peas
- 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro, optional
- Salt to taste
- Heat the oil in a wide skillet or stir-fry pan.
- Add the garlic and saute over medium-low heat until golden.
- Add the potatoes and about 1 cup of water.
- Cover and bring to a simmer, then cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Add the cauliflower, sprinkle in the ginger, garam masala, cumin, turmeric, and mustard, and continue to simmer gently for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the tofu, tomatoes, and peas, and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the optional cilantro, season with salt, and serve.
- My favorite partner for this is Lentils with Greens and Sun-Dried Tomatoes (page 111).
- Something fruity makes a nice counterpoint to the strong flavors of the meala platter of orange slices with chunks of pineapple and/or mango, for example.
- Or, if you have more time and want to make another easy dish, try Fruitful Red Slaw (page 177).
- If you have a little more time and are accommodating larger appetites, Curried Chickpeas with Chutney Bulgur (page 98) makes a filling companion dish.
- Serve with a cooling salad of diced tomatoes and cucumbers (with chopped cilantro, if youd like), dressed in a creamy vegan dressing.
