Drain the tofu and place it in a weighted tofu press or wrap in a clean towel and weigh down with a heavy plate to draw out excess moisture. The tofu should be pressed for 15-30 minutes. Cut the tofu into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Combine the brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, garam masala, oregano, garlic powder and salt. Dredge the tofu in the blend, covering all of the surfaces.
