Preparation
Press the tofu to remove water, and optionally sprinkle with corn starch, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to make it crispier.
Dice the garlic and red onion, then fry them in oil until golden brown.
Add the chickpeas and diced tofu along with garam masala, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper, and fry until golden brown.
Add the sweet potato diced into medium or small pieces.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, coconut milk, water, a pinch of sugar, tomato paste, and peanut butter, then allow the mixture to boil on medium heat.
After 10 minutes, add the red lentils and cook for 20 minutes until both the sweet potato and red lentils are soft.
Add more water as necessary during cooking.
Add two-thirds of the diced tomatoes, and add the remaining tomatoes once the dish is cooked.
Optionally, add green peas or spinach to the mix.
