Ingredients:
1 firm tofu brick (see note) cut into cubes
1 medium onion chopped
12-15 curry leaves
1 bell pepper or several sweet peppers
2-3 cloves of grated garlic
2 Tbs of grated ginger
1 cup of diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
1 tsp of fennugreek seeds
1 Tbs of curry powder
1/4 tsp of ground turmeric
Red chili powder (to taste)
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 can of coconut milk
Notes on Tofu: You can buy plain tofu or any flavored tofu you like. I actually found a firm tofu that was flavored with a lot of pepper. You will want to press as much excess water out of the tofu as you can without breaking the tofu. You can do this by putting it on a plate with a paper towel above and below the tofu and pressing down gently with either your hand or another plate.
Fry the tofu in about 2 Tbs of canola oil. I wanted to give a little more color to the tofu so I added a sprinkle of turmeric into the oil before frying the tofu. Fry each side until golden. Then set to drain on a paper towel while you create the curry sauce.

Use the remaining oil (after frying the tofu) to fry the onions and peppers. Once the onions start getting tender add the fennugreek seeds and the grated garlic and ginger. Fry for about a minute and finally add the powdered spices. Allow to cook for another minute.
Add your tomatoes and salt to the dish. Allow to cook for another minute.
Add 1/2 a cup of coconut milk and 1/2 a cup of water. Allow to simmer for a minute. Then add you tofu into the gravy. Cook for another 5-7 minutes.

Finish the dish off with a squeeze of lime juice to taste.
Eat with rice, chapathi, roti etc.. Enjoy.
