Curried Tofu with Coconut Milk

Optional:  Place the tofu between two flat plates or baking pans.  Weight the top with a heavy object, such as a book or can, so that the sides of the tofu bulge slightly, but don’t split.  Let stand for 30 minutes.

When tofu is drained, cut into 1-inch cubes.  Heat oil in medium fry pan over medium. Add tofu to pan and heat for 3 minutes, turning tofu to cook all sides.  Meanwhile, mix curry, coconut milk, cumin and ginger in small bowl.  Add to pan with tofu along with raisins, slivered almonds and salt.  Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes.

Prepare rice.  Add cilantro.  Mix.

Serve tofu over rice. Garnish with remaining cilantro.
