INSTRUCTIONS
GARAM MARSALA
Heat the oil in a saucepan. Saute the onions, garlic, ginger, salt,
tumeric, cayenne, coriander, cilantro, and garam marsala for about 5
minutes.
Drain the juice from the tomatoes into the sauteed vegetables. Then crush
the tomatoes by hand and add them to the vegetables. Dice the tofu into
1/2-inch cubes and add to the vegetables. Continue to cook for 10 to 15
minutes over low heat. Then add the peas and cook another 4 minutes. Serve
hot over brown rice. A coriander coconut chutney (or other chutney) is an
excellent accompaniment.
GARAM MARSALA: Preheat the oven to 200 F. Place the ingredients on a
baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes, or until the spices give off an
aroma. (Some chefs suggest roasting each ingredient separately, since each
gives its characteristic aroma at a different time.)
Separate the cardamom pods from the seeds. Discard the pods. Crush the
cinnamon. Combine the cinnamon, cardamom seeds, and other spices until the
mixture is powdery. Store in a sealed jar.
