Homestyle Sri Lankan Grilled Tofu Salad

Assemble the ingredients: tofu, tomato, salt, potato, parsley, onion, bay leaf.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the tofu and cook until grilled.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Sri Lankan flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Sri Lankan accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
