For those in the know, that’s breakfast for dinner.&#160; I tend to favor savory over sweet foods so I decided to whip up this delicately spiced tofu and paired it along side some love jam and toast.&#160; The spice combination is exquisite.&#160; </p>  <p>Speaking of exquisite spices – have you stopped by the <a href="http://www.thespicehouse.com/">Spice House</a> yet?&#160; The outlay for spices can be pricey at first – but considering you will get a hundred meals from one bag of spice, it is worth it.</p>  <p>Please – if you are one of those people who use jarred Indian sauces from Whole Foods or your grocery store and just add some meat to make a dish - you have to stop now.&#160; First, they are high in all the stuff that’s bad for you (sodium, trans fat, fat, sugar, preservatives, bad carbs and calories) and low in all the things that matter (flavor, depth and most importantly, taste).&#160; I get that most people aren’t really cooking “Indian food” or more specifically making actual Indian dishes – they are want to pair certain sauces and flavors with any vegetable or meat.&#160; The results are a hundred times better when you use these lovely spices.</p>  <p><strong>INDIAN SPICED TOFU WITH TOAST POINTS</strong></p>  <p><strong>Ingredients</strong></p>  <p>Crusty bread or whole wheat toast with nuts and seeds</p>  <p>Blackberry or raspberry jam (or whatever makes your skirt fly up, as Pioneer Woman says).</p>  <p>One small white onion, chopped.</p>  <p>Two small green chilies (labeled Thai).</p>  <p>3-4 ripe tomatoes, chopped.</p>  <p>1 block tofu</p>  <p>1-2 tablespoons of oil</p>  <p>Salt to taste</p>  <p>Cilantro (optional)</p>  <p><strong>Spice Stars:</strong></p>  <p>1 tablespoon turmeric</p>  <p>1/2 teaspoon red chili powder</p>  <p>2 tablespoons coriander powder</p>  <p>1 tablespoons garam masala</p>  <p><strong>Method:</strong></p>  <p><strong>1.</strong>&#160; Drain tofu completely.&#160; When no water is remaining, crumble and set aside.</p>  <p><strong>2. </strong> Heat two tablespoons of oil in a non-stick pan and cook onion until it is clear.&#160; </p>  <p><strong>3.</strong>&#160; Add green chilies and tomatoes and cook for 1 minute.</p>  <p><strong>4.&#160; </strong>Add tofu and sauté for two minutes. </p>  <p><strong>5.</strong>&#160; Add Spice Stars:&#160; red chili powder, turmeric, and coriander.&#160; Stir until well-mixed and the entire pan has a lovely yellow color, like scrambled eggs with yolks.&#160; I have to sound like your mother and remind you to wash your hands.&#160; Why?&#160; Well, because you will use Indian chili powder, not wash your hands, and then cry.&#160; Like I did not to long ago. </p>  <p><strong>6.</strong>&#160; Turn off the stove and add garam masala to tofu, gently stirring.&#160; Garam masala can be mixed in, but adding it to the dish right before serving warms up the spice and makes it really stand out.</p>  <p><strong>7.</strong>&#160; Throw some cilantro on top and pair some lovely toast points and jam with your Indian spiced tofu.&#160; </p>
