This dish was a disappointment. The tofu was dry and the curry sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and the flavors are incredible. The tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the curry sauce is creamy and flavorful. I always serve this dish with jasmine rice and it's always a hit.

This recipe is a keeper! The coconut curried tofu was so flavorful and the green jasmine rice was the perfect accompaniment. I will definitely be making this again and again.

I thought this dish was just okay. The tofu was a bit bland and the curry sauce was too thin. I think I would have liked it better if the tofu had been marinated in the curry sauce before cooking.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall it was still pretty good. The tofu was nice and crispy, and the curry sauce was flavorful. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.
