Melt the butter in a large pot over medium low heat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the onions and cook for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While the onions cook, place the basmati rice into a medium pot or bowl and cover it with water. Allow the rice to soak for 20 minutes, then drain and rinse it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While the onions cook and the rice soaks, being preparing the tofu.&nbsp;In a shallow dish, stir together the soy sauce, maple syrup, lemon juice, garlic, garam masala and oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the tofu and toss to coat. If you have time, let the tofu marinate for about 20 minutes. Otherwise, preheat the oven to 400\u00b0 and arrange the tofu on a parchment lined baking sheet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bake the tofu for about 40 minutes, flipping halfway through. The tofu should have shrunk a bit and darkened by the time it is finished baking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While the tofu bakes, make the roasted vegetables place the potato, cauliflower and green beans into a roasting pan or skillet and drizzle with oil. Toss everything to coat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place the veggies into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, until tender.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While the tofu and veggies cook, continue preparing the rice. When the onions have finished caramelizing, remove them from the pot and transfer them to a plate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the raisins, garlic, ginger, peppercorns, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon sticks, star anise, bay leaves, coriander, ground cumin, turmeric, cumin seeds and cayenne pepper to the pot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Raise the heat to medium and toast the spices for about 1 minute, just until the garlic becomes very fragrant and the cumin seeds begin to darken. Avoid cooking the spices too long, as they can become bitter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Return the onions to the pot and stir the water, salt and soaked rice. Raise the heat and bring the liquid to a boil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lower the heat until the liquid is at a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 20 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove the pot from heat and let it sit with the lid on for 5 minutes after cooking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove the lid from the pot, fluff the rice, then stir in the baked tofu, roasted veggies, cashews, cilantro, and coconut.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remove the cinnamon sticks, star anise, and bay leaves (or leave them in for garnish &#8211; just don&#8217;t eat them!)
