Notes
In the actual Masal curry, at the end, we would season the curry with finely chopped shallots. Shallots will be fried in coconut oil until it turns brown and then added at the end. I have avoided this step as it would not be suited for tofu and would dominate the taste of tofu.
Masal curry is generally cooked in coconut oil but i have used olive oil as using coconut oil will not combine well with the taste of tofu.
Adding a pinch of garam masala is optional and could change the taste of masal curry and help it blend with tofus.
Incase you wish to add curry leaves, it has to be added while grinding instead of adding it as such in gravy.
