You certainly could! One of the reasons I made this variant is my mother's rather severe dietary restrictions, and I can't use milk products for her, so I use coconut cream. It tastes amazing. Though when I did it last, I didn't fry the tofu first. Hence that step in this one.

This one is modified from the Murgh Ka Korma recipe in The Indian Cooking Course by Monisha Bharadwaj

I strongly recommend it for Indian recipes.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 fresh green Chile, chopped
  • 1/4 c unsalted cashews
  • 2 tsp garlic ginger paste (2 parts garlic: 1 part ginger)
  • 1.5 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 block of firm tofu, cut into cubes
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp (+some more to finish) garam masala (make your own to really make it pop)
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 lb frozen mixed vegetables
  • 2 tbsp cream (or more. Treat yo self.)
  • salt
  1. Begin by frying the tofu. I recommend a good non stick pan to reduce how much oil you add. Really get a good texture on most of the faces of the cubes.

  2. Put the onion, Chile, and cashews in a pan with some water. Not too much, don't be afraid to add a dash as it cooks as needed. You can add more, but you can't take it out. Cook for 10 minutes until the onion very soft, then move it to a food processor with enough water for the food processor to work it all into a smooth textured paste/liquid. Set aside for later steps.

  3. Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan on high heat. Add garlic ginger paste, followed by tofu. Stir to integrate.

  4. Stir in salt and the ground spices. Mix to integrate. Add the cashew onion paste, and use a bit of water to get everything out of the food processor. Cook for about 10 minutes. The primary goal here is to thaw and adequately heat the frozen vegetables.

  5. Stir in cream, adjust seasoning to taste (primarily salt most likely) and optionally add a sprinkle of garam masala. Serve with rice, roti, or paratha

I hope you enjoy it!

A little bit yes, a little bit no

Tab delimited csv are sometimes called tsv, but just as often you'll see csv (tab delimited) as a file type option

See the wiki section on standardization for details.

Csv currently includes the following delimiters:

Comma, space, tab, pipe, or semicolon

Thanks! I've tried doing this once before, but this is easily the best I've tried yet.

The biggest difference has been giving the tofu a hard fry before adding it. With chicken, that's not a necessary step, but tofu falls apart without it

The best thing you can do is test this for yourself.

Steep a plain coffee filter in water, taste it, and determine your findings from there. Repeat with each filter candidate

I understand that this is an old post, but it's also the only one of its kind that I've found

How difficult was it to set up a rpi instance? I'm considering setting one up for myself and a few close friends to aid reducing the load on the big instances. Based on your experiences, how viable is that concept?

Let's count our blessings that 55 million people haven't tried to join this platform at once.

It would have a lot of severely negative effects:

  • Bringing over the hive mind
  • Bringing over the influencers and thirst traps
  • Crippling all or most of the current instances
  • Etc

Given the nature of this platform, you can generally expect slightly more technical people on average or at least people who are not afraid of trying new technologies. The average person will not want to deal with learning how instances work or how federation works. Hell, I was chatting with a good friend who is a senior programmer and he doesn't want to deal with these things.

I've done my part

If my interest in this platform continues, I'll be making it a monthly thing.

I think the admins here are doing great, and they deserve the support from me given how much I'm using it lately

Those shows literally drove me to a career in software development.

I'll never forget Leo telling a young kid about my age about a new programming language called Python. I like to think he shaped a fair number of future careers with that one call

I don't know if you've ever tried the official app, but that strategy wouldn't even help most likely. Every 3-5 posts that you see from your subscribed subs, they throw in a "recommended for you" nonsense post to try and drive your engagement. It's infuriating
