Love this recipe, has become a staple. I usually add a can of chickpeas and cut the rice in half to add more protein & they go great with the curry flavor. I've never cooked with coconut milk prior to this, so was concerned, but it is sooooo good!

I added mushrooms and more garlic, a little salty, I'll use less next time. Its much better than the usual tofu sandwhiches I make.

This is my first time working with tofu. I will try other recipes with tofu now that I figured out how easy it is to work with. The flavor of this recipe is outstanding and I will make this again and share this with my friends for sure!!

I used basmati rice instead of brown. Just like Indian take-out!

Made this just tonight--very good! I cut back on the oil a bit and kicked up the spiciness by using 1 tsp red chili oil to saute the tofu and another tsp of the same to saute the veggies. I also added about 1 c. rinsed, drained chickpeans, and about 2 c. sliced baby portobello mushrooms to the veggies. I will definitely make this one many, many times!

Good flavor. wish it was more saucy, but a good healthy version. We ate it with basmati rice.
