Ingredients:
- 1 package firm tofu
- 2 T olive oil
- 1/3 C chopped cilantro
- 3 C tomato sauce (plain canned, not seasoned with herbs)
- 1 1/2 tsp garam masala (or curry powder)
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/3 C full fat coconut milk
- 1 T maple syrup
- 1 large clove garlic, grated
- 1/4 - 1/2 tsp salt

Directions
- Set oven to roast at 400°F.
- Cook your preferred grain (stove top, rice cooker, pressure cooker, or even pre-cooked/microwavable)
- Drain and press the tofu, getting out as much moisture as possible, then cut into bite-size cubes.
- In a bowl, toss the tofu cubes with 1 T olive oil and a pinch of salt, spread on a pan and roast in oven for 15 min.
- While that's roasting, take a pan and put it over medium heat. Add in 1 T olive oil and the garam masala, stir together until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Add tomato sauce, grated garlic, maple syrup, cayenne, and stir frequently while simmering for a few minutes.
