I am sure that this curry rice with tofu will be your favorite. Tomatoes melts in yellow rice and compose a unique taste experience. Never be afraid of doing something new. I used lots of plant-based butter from Naturli, a danish brand. Plant-margarine will be a splendid choice as well. Garlic, red onion and beans was frying in lots of plant-butter and poured over the rice before it went into the oven.
