Method
Tofu Preparation
Press the Tofu
Wrap the firm tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top to press out excess moisture for about 15-20 minutes.
Cut the Tofu
Once pressed, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes.
Coat with Cornstarch
In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with cornstarch and salt until evenly coated.
Fry the Tofu
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated tofu cubes and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Sauce Preparation
Add Tomato Puree
Stir in the tomato puree, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Incorporate Coconut Milk
Pour in the coconut milk, curry powder, and turmeric powder. Stir well to combine and let simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Combine Tofu and Sauce
Add the fried tofu back into the skillet, stirring gently to coat the tofu with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Garnish and Serve
Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro.
