Very tasty. I would add more tomatoes next time and I think the cheese and coriander toppings round out the flavors well. My four year son liked it -not too spicy.
It was very good and easy to make, next time i'd add more spices though it was a bit bland.
Not a fan of tofu, but this recipe is very tasty!
