Directions
Sauté first five ingredients in oil until limp.
Add tofu and sauté until browned.
Mix the spices together in a bowl and sprinkle into the pot.
Mix thoroughly. Add water, tomatoes and tomato paste.
Stir.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
If desired, at this point, add the kidney beans.
Taste and correct seasoning.
The addition of 1 teaspoon to 1 tblsp of cayenne pepper can make this gradually more spicy.
As the recipe reads, it's fairly tame.
NOTE: The ground chilis are NOT chili powder.
Most chili powder is made up of a combination of chilis, oregano, cumin, salt and garlic.
If chili powder is all you can find, then you will have to readjust the cumin and oregano amounts.
