Very good recipe. I followed it exactly, as I'd never made tofu before and didn't want to mess it up, and it had a lovely result. It tasted almost authentic Indian, but for the taste of lime. Don't get me wrong- I loved the lime contribution to the end result. I might use extra firm tofu next time only because it ended up crumbling a lot, so for a prettier presentation, extra firm might be good. Also- this recipe yields so much! I'll halve it or even quarter it next time as there's only 2 of us. Thanks for sharing.
