    With tofu if you manmade it in some soy sauce and chilli oil (you can also add a pinch of sugar or some ginger) and let it soak for a few hours it makes it a lot nicer. Squeeze the water out of it first (and buy the firmest stuff you can find). Also if you shallow fry it it can give it some crunch but that crunch will disappear after a while so I’d probably just marianade it if I was going to save it in the fridge.

    if you don’t go too heavy on the curry power you can play with the flavours when serving - fresh or dried herbs could change it up. Basil + soy and chilli is nice. Maybe plain curry power with some coriander through it. I keep an eye out for what I can pick up cheap. Or a handful of nuts (almonds or peanuts would work) to give it some crunch and a bit more fat / protein

      Last one I cooked had 3tbl of curry powder and I felt the curry flavour was pretty weak.

      The nuts is a good suggestion as I’m decreasing my meat intake.
