Gobi Mutter Paneer (Tofu)

Gobi Mutter Paneer (Tofu)
Serves 4

1 smaller cauliflower, florets
12oz frozen peas
1 block tofu, in smaller rectangles
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 med onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 Tbs ginger, chopped
1 bay leaf
Dash cayenne
1 tsp coriander
3 tsp cumin
2 tsp curry power
1/2 tsp tumeric
Salt and pepper
15oz crushed tomato or sauce
1/2c cream or milk, or 3oz yogurt (and some extra tomato sauce)
1 tsp garam masala
Cilantro

Microwave the cut-up cauliflower until par-cooked, about 4 minutes.
Heat some oil in a dutch oven with the mustard seeds. Once they start popping, add the onions and saute until golden. Add the garlic and ginger and saute 1 minute. Add the spices and saute another minute.
Add in the cauliflower, tomato, bay, and season with salt and pepper. Add some more tomato or water here if using yogurt instead of milk later.
Bring to a boil and cook 5 minutes, until cauliflower is almost fully soft.
Add the cream or yogurt, peas, and tofu (or paneer) and cook until everything is heated through. Finish with cilantro and garam.
