Delicious Tofu Curry Recipe for a Healthy Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 block firm tofu (pressed and cubed)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 inch ginger (grated)
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 can coconut milk (full fat for creaminess)
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, carrots, and peas)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (to balance flavors)
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Tofu

    Press the tofu to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes.

    Using firm tofu helps it hold its shape during cooking.
  2. Sauté Onion and Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, and ginger, sautéing until fragrant.

    Cook until the onion is translucent for best flavor.
  3. Add Curry Powder

    Stir in the curry powder and cook for another minute to release its aroma.

    Be careful not to burn the spices.
  4. Combine Ingredients

    Add the cubed tofu, mixed vegetables, coconut milk, vegetable broth, soy sauce, lime juice, sugar, salt, and pepper.

    Stir gently to avoid breaking the tofu cubes.
  5. Simmer the Curry

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until vegetables are tender.

    Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.

    Serve hot with rice or naan for a complete meal.
