Ingredients
2 shallots, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1 Thai bird or serrano chile, seeded and minced 1 teaspoon peeled and minced fresh galangal or ginger 1 teaspoon trimmed and minced fresh lemongrass 1 tablespoon tamari or other soy sauce 1 teaspoon light brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander 1/4 teaspoon turmeric 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons peanut oil 1/2 cup water 1 medium-size yellow onion, coarsely chopped 2 large all-purpose potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks 1 1/2 cups vegetable stock or water 1 pound extra-firm tofu, cut into 1-inch chunks 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned) 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
Directions
In a food processor, combine the shallots, garlic, chile, galangal, lemongrass, tamari, and brown sugar and process until smooth. Add the cardamom, coriander, turmeric, cumin, cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of the oil and process to form a paste. Blend in the water. Set aside.

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, cover, and cook, stirring a few times, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and spice mixture and cook for 2 to 3 minutes longer. Stir the stock, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are soft, 20 to 30 minutes.

Stir in the tofu, pinapple, and coconut milk and simmer for 5 minutes longer to heat through. Serve hot.
