Would this taste good without cilantro? All herbs here at this time of year come from Israel, so we have to do without this year (shemita). Also, does this dish taste of tofu? I really don't like its taste and only use it in the one recipe I have where the taste is totally masked by the other ingredients. |

You can omit or substitute ingredients at will. I find that the tofu doesn't really have a tofu taste because it's cooked with the spices, but it has a texture similar to Indian "paneer" cheese cubes. |

Where do you find Kosher curry paste? I've been subbing schug, but would like to find Kosher curry paste if it's at all possible. |

http://www.everlandnaturalfoods.com/pdf/chutneys.pdf The folks in British Columbia should be able to get this paste. I'm trying like mad to track down some of that paste here. I emailed the company several months ago, and they are slowly expanding to retailers here. I just bought some of their other sauces, but am still looking out for the paste. When Planet Organic opens here, I'm planning on hounding them until they agree to carry it! I did find, btw, that organic stores often are the best place to find "exotic" kosher flavors. I just found some kosher organic sauces and powders in Newmarket (hick town north of Toronto, without a sizeable Jewish community). In the UK, some Sharwoods stuff is apparently not certified kosher but is on the "list". |

I made this last night. It was delicious and a hit with the troops. The recipe made more than I expected, so I froze the leftovers. I hope they reheat well. thanks for another tofu option. |

I made this with 14-spice curry in a grinder, from the Cape Herb Company (Cape Town Beis Din), and Club House madras curry powder. I also found red and green Thai curry pastes, imported from Israel (Taste of Asia brand) selling in Thornhill at No Frills. |

Finally found the Everland pastes! They are available in the Nature's Emporium natural food store at the corner of Yonge and Mullock in Newmarket. I'm finding that they aren't as paste-like as my old Sharwoods or Patak pastes, and are more like a slightly more concentrated sauce. The 14-spice curry in grinder from Cape Herb Company is still the best for quick and authentic Indian flavor. I'm also finding that this recipe works well with different veggies. My current favorite is browning a choppped onion, then adding a package of sliced mushrooms and browning that, then adding red peppers and/or green beans, then adding in the tofu, and then adding the tomatoes and cilantro. A great way to get some more veggies into your diet. |
