• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons curry powder (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar (adjust to taste)

For the Vegetables and Tofu:

• 1 block (14 ounces) firm tofu, cut into cubes
• 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, etc.), chopped
• 1 cup green peas (frozen or fresh)
• Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish (optional)
• Lime wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dry Curry Sauce:

   • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
   • Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they become soft and translucent.
   • Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
   • Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce. Stir well to combine.
   • Add salt, pepper, and sugar, adjusting to your taste.
   • Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes until it thickens and intensifies in flavor.

2. Cook the Tofu and Vegetables:

   • While the sauce is simmering, in a separate pan, heat a bit of oil and pan-fry the firm tofu cubes until they are golden brown on all sides. Remove and set aside.
   • In the same pan, add a bit more oil if necessary, and stir-fry the mixed vegetables until they are tender-crisp.
   • Add the green peas to the vegetables and cook for a few more minutes.

3. Combine and Serve:

   • Add the pan-fried tofu to the simmering curry sauce and stir to coat the tofu cubes in the sauce.
   • Add the cooked vegetables to the sauce and stir to combine.

4. Garnish and Serve:
