While the tofu is being pressed, puree the silken tofu, curry powder, lemon juice, orange, cayenne to taste and ¼ cup of the dried apricots in a high-powered blender until smooth. Crumble the pressed tofu into a large mixing bowl and stir in the puree. Add the celery, scallions, red pepper, currants, cilantro, cucumber and the remaining ¼ cup apricots and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors mingle.
