Okra and Tofu

1 packet extra firm tofu
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1 large onion, chopped (I use a bag of frozen onions and peppers)
1 spoon cumin seed, approximately
1 spoon coriander seed, approximately
1 pinch asafetida powder (optional)
2 spoons tumeric powder
salt and pepper to taste
chili to taste
2-3 tomato, choppes (I used one can of chopped tomato with liquid)
1 bag frozen okra

1. Press tofu to dry and then cut into cubes. Lightly saute or fry the cubes in oil until golden brown (they can also be baked...have not figured out how to do this yet). Then set aside.
2. In a large skillet, place garlic and onions with some oil and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add cumin seed, coriander seed, asafetida, tumeric powder, and salt/pepper to taste. Stir until fragrant.
3. Add chili peppers, tomato, and tofu. Bring to a light boil.
4. Add frozen okra and simmer on low for 10-15 minutes.
5. Serve with bread of choice (roti, naan, etc) or rice.
