Method
Slice tofu into 3 slabs, then wrap in a clean/dry tea towel or paper towel to remove moisture. Keep wrapped for 10minutes. Then cut tofu into cubes.
While waiting, cook quinoa using absorption method / a good opportunity to also steam broccolini.
In a large mixing bowl combine all spices together, then add tofu. Shake until tofu is all lightly coated.
Prep yoghurt dressing by combining all ingredients in a small bowl. Refrigerate until serving.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan on med/high heat with 1 tbsp butter or ghee. Once hot, at tofu and fry until lightly golden.
Divide quinoa, vegetables & tofu between bowls, and a large dollop of the yoghurt dressing.
