How to Prepare Tofu Coconut Korma [Vegan]

  1. Soak the cashews for 30 minutes or overnight.  Once soaked, place the cashews in a food processor or blender, add the coconut milk, and blend them until they are completely smooth. Set aside.
  2. Press and prep tofu. If you would like a “meatier” tofu texture, you can then bake the tofu after it’s drained on a greased baking sheet or parchment paper. Bake it for in about 30 minutes on 400°F, flipping mid-way through.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  4. Add the green cardamoms, cloves, peppercorns, and cinnamon.
  5. Sauté for a couple of minutes then add the ginger and garlic paste and cook for a couple of more minutes.
  6. Add the tomato purée, spices, and fresh chillies.
  7. Increase heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil while adding the water (add more water for a thinner sauce).
  8. Reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  9. Add the tofu and simmer for another five minutes or so. Add the coconut milk and cashew mixture.
  10. Adjust spices to taste. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
