    Instructions

    1. 1

      Press 400 grams of extra-firm tofu to remove excess water, then cut it into 2-cm cubes and set aside.

    2. 2

      Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large wok or pan over medium-high heat.

    3. 3

      Add 0.5 cup of finely sliced shallots, 2 green chilies slit lengthwise, and 10 fresh curry leaves, then stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until aromatic and shallots soften.

    4. 4

      Introduce the cubed tofu to the pan along with 0.5 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin powder, 2 teaspoons of Sri Lankan curry powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt, tossing gently to coat the tofu.

    5. 5

      Continue to stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until the tofu is lightly browned on all sides, then pour in 0.5 cup of light coconut milk and simmer for 2 minutes.

    6. 6

      Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice and cook for another minute until the sauce slightly thickens, then remove from heat.

    7. 7

      Garnish the stir-fried tofu with 0.25 cup of fresh grated coconut before serving immediately with rice.
