    How to Make Vegetable Tofu Curry

    1. Prep Vegetables and Tofu

    Slice the broccoli into florets, and press the tofu gently to remove excess moisture, then cut it into bite-sized cubes.

    2. Cook Onions in Coconut Milk

    In a large saucepan, heat the solid part of the coconut milk until melted. Add chopped onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until onions are translucent.

    3. Toast Curry Powder

    Sprinkle in the curry powder, letting it toast for a few seconds to release aromatic oils.

    4. Simmer with Coconut Milk

    Pour in the remaining coconut milk and stir, bringing the mixture to a simmer.

    5. Add Tofu and Vegetables

    Add the tofu and your choice of vegetables to the saucepan. Cover and let it cook for another 5 to 7 minutes.

    6. Season and Serve

    Stir to combine and coat the tofu and vegetables with the curry sauce. Adjust seasoning and serve over cooked rice or grains.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Marinate the Tofu

    Enhance flavor by marinating tofu in soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and turmeric before frying.

    Layering Spices

    Toast whole spices like cumin and mustard seeds in oil, then add ground spices at different stages for depth and aroma.

    Rest and Develop

    Allow the curry to rest for a few hours or overnight in the fridge to deepen the flavors.

    Balancing Flavors

    Regularly taste and adjust the balance of salty, sweet, tangy, and spicy, with sugar or lime juice as needed.

    Vegetable Prep

    Use a variety of colorful, seasonal vegetables, sliced uniformly. Blanch slower-cooking veggies like carrots before adding to the curry.
