INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 450°F. Toast just ½ tsp cumin seeds in small saucepan over medium heat until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add rice, 1¼ cups water, and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until water is absorbed and grains are tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, whisk together cilantro chutney and just half the yogurt in small bowl, and set aside.
Stir together garlic, minced ginger, just ½ tbsp garam masala, just ½ tsp chili powder, lemon juice, remaining yogurt, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in medium bowl. Add tofu, onion, and bell pepper and toss to coat. Transfer sauced tofu to foil-lined sheet pan and roast until edges of tofu are crispy and browned, 18 to 20 minutes.
Divide rice between 2 serving plates and top with tofu, cilantro chutney yogurt, and lemon wedges. Enjoy!
