Its hot on Venus 馃懡
While Coriander is used to the heat on Venus, she likes to play with human clothes. Although if it where up to her she wouldn't wear anything, she finds the constraint of covering up with clothes uncomfortable. Luckily humans have an array of clothes to pick from!

And what's the difference between cilantro and coriander?
Coriander is woman I met in the 1990s. She had the longest fingers I ever saw. Not like with Marfan Syndrome or Congenital Arachnodactyly, but like nine to ten inch long fingers. One day, I saw a seam in her wrist, like her skin was just a suit, she hid it quickly though and I never saw it again. Years after I last saw her, I heard she had been killed by a police officer during a traffic stop but there was no funeral, nor was the cop ever named. All record of her vanished too, like she'd never existed. I met Jesse, a friend who knew her too and he said that when she died, her body fell apart like ash and when it blew away, it caused a storm with huge amounts of thunder-less, soundless lightning. For years after, the grass didn't grow around the whole region, and when it finally did, it was all diseased and gnarled.
Cilantro is a leafy herb, yet is somehow even scarier.

HOT TAKE TOURNAMENT!
PRELIMINARY #203
Enjoy a coriander-themed poll this pea plantin' season!
Submission 686
The cilantro soap gene doesnt exist, people are just being dramatic
look the nature of cilantro is that it does taste just a little bit like soap, and some people are just really losing their minds about it and overreacting. I really think there is no gene that makes cilantro taste different, we all taste it the same and instead should divide ourselves by those of us who are willing to learn to enjoy the herb with all its faults and those who will instead blame it on inferior genetics. People who swear up and down that it doesn't taste like soap at all are lying to themselves. We all know deep down it tastes a bit like soap but in a good way.
Cilantro is coriander.
Anyway, propaganda is always encouraged!
And remember to reblog your favourite polls for exposure!

Instructions
Prep the Tofu: Drain and press the tofu for at least 15 minutes. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
Marinate the Tofu (Optional): For extra flavor, marinate the tofu in a mixture of 1/4 cup plain yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon garam masala, and a pinch of salt for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the Rice
Rinse rice thoroughly. Combine rice, coconut milk, water, and salt in a medium saucepan.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
Make the Tikka Masala Sauce:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and ginger and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Stir in cumin, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, and cayenne pepper, and cook for another 30 seconds.
Add diced tomatoes, coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer.
Cook the Tofu
If not marinated, toss tofu with a bit of olive oil, garam masala, and salt.
In a separate skillet, heat a bit of oil and cook the tofu until golden brown on all sides.
Assemble the Tikka Masala:
Add the cooked tofu to the simmering sauce.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Let simmer for 5-10 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
Serve: Stir in fresh cilantro. Serve the hot Tofu Tikka Masala over a bed of fluffy coconut rice.

Naan bread
Plain yogurt
Tips
Spiciness:聽Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper for your preferred heat level.

When the forehead pets so good you become 2 dimensional. (But will lift your head when they stop. How dare)
Bonus Marco because it's bedtime. Good night.
