Try some smoked paprika or liquid smoke.
Liquid smoke kicks ass and I use it all the time when prepping vegan dishes. I'm not sure the exact flavor you're trying to recreate, but liquid smoke is a staple in my kitchen for helping boost vegan dishes that imitate meat. You can also try frying curry leaves in the oil you use before frying the tofu. That flavor isn't quite right when you use it in the proportions one would normally use curry leaves, but a few infused into the fry oil will get ya something subtle and interesting.
Thanks, I'll definitely be trying liquid smoke next! I really should start messing around with curry seasoning more. I might also try to find aged cayenne pepper to see if that makes any difference, too.
