This recipe makes tofu a main component of any meal. Once drained well, tofu achieves a very firm, meat-like consistency and is incredible grilled, especially as it soaks up all the flavors of the rub.

Would it be possible to give me the above spice rub in smaller, perhaps 2-4 servings worth? This is just too much for me to make at first as a trial!
Try these measurements for a smaller spice rub amount:
¼ Cups dry cilantro flakes
2 Tablespoons paprika
2 Tablespoons oregano
1/2 Teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 Teaspoons ground cumin
3 Teaspoons ground coriander
3 Teaspoons ground pepper
1 1/4 Teaspoons ground bay leaf
3 Teaspoons tamarind powder
3 Teaspoons turmeric
I left out: ¼ Cups dry parsley flakes
