I just want to tell people that like to bake their tofu to try using parchment paper.You dont have to worry about greasing a pan or sticking & the tofu comes out very nicely browned.It really makes a difference! -
This was the main dish for our dinner tonight and we all loved it. I did halve the recipe as there were only 3 of us eating. I made this as part of the Pick Your Chef(July 25-27)'2003 contest. It was great! Thank you for sharing! -
I really liked this! It's so unique and tasty. I used cilantro and followed the rest of recipe exactly. I would use less salt next time. I'm looking forward to the leftovers. Thanks for sharing the recipe. -
Yumza! Made as written except I did not have green peppers, I had some of the little yellow ones so I used those. The only other thing that I altered was the cook time. After I baked it then broiled it for five minutes, I just turned off the oven and let it sit in there for another 20 minutes because I wanted to be sure that the peppers were cooked. This was really, really good. Ate half of it myself! I also like the ideas at the intro with the garlic and onions - will try that next time. Thanks for posting, kusum gupta, I like your recipe!

Used coriander not cilantro as recipe should have called for. Too salty to even eat much less enjoy. Sorry-
