Instructions

In a large nonstick frying pan or a wok, melt 1 tbsp of coconut oil.
Cut the tofu into cubes and add them to the frying pan. Brown for 5 to 6 minutes over medium heat, stirring from time to time. Once browned, transfer the tofu cubes to a bowl lined with paper towel.
Add the cashews and coconut milk to the bowl of your food processor. Mix until smooth and creamy. Add the tomato paste and 1/2 cup of water, and mix again. Set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining coconut oil. Once hot, add the onion, garlic and ginger and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the onion is browned.
Add the curry powder, curry paste, garam masala, turmeric, salt and pepper. Cook for about 1 minute before adding the cashew-coconut milk mixture.
Bring to a boil. If the sauce appears too thick, add a bit of water or coconut milk. Let simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Add more salt, pepper or other seasonings to taste.
Add the tofu cubes, broccoli florets and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Serve on a bed of rice, and garnish with cilantro.
