Steps

1. Press the tofu to remove excess moisture for about 15 minutes, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, turmeric, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
