Description

This tofu curry is a vibrant and comforting dish, perfect for a cozy night in. It begins with a luscious and flavorful broth, built upon a foundation of rich vegetable stock and infused with the creamy sweetness of coconut milk. The curry powder, a fragrant blend of coriander, cumin, and other aromatic spices, lends a delightful warmth and depth that tantalizes the taste buds.

Within this savory broth, a medley of perfectly cooked vegetables awaits. Crisp green beans offer a pleasant snap, while tender zucchini and eggplant provide a soft, yielding texture. Each vegetable absorbs the flavorful curry, creating a harmonious blend of tastes and textures.

To elevate the dish to a satisfying main course, firm tofu is carefully prepared. Baked to a beautiful golden brown, the tofu develops a slightly crisp exterior while remaining soft and tender within. This technique ensures that the tofu maintains its shape and integrity in the curry, preventing it from becoming mushy and allowing each bite to be substantial and flavorful.

The subtle nutty flavor of the baked tofu complements the aromatic spices of the curry beautifully. As a final flourish, a generous scattering of fresh cilantro adds a burst of vibrant color and a refreshing, citrusy note. This brightens the overall flavor profile of the curry, creating a well-balanced and truly memorable culinary experience.

This vegan curry is not only a delicious and satisfying meal but also a wholesome and nourishing choice. The combination of plant-based protein, fiber-rich vegetables, and aromatic spices makes it a dish you can feel good about eating. Whether you're a seasoned curry enthusiast or new to the world of plant-based cuisine, this tofu curry is sure to become a favorite.

Its comforting flavors and satisfying textures will leave you feeling warm, nourished, and completely content.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the firm tofu into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, toss the tofu with 1 ½ tablespoons of avocado oil and ½ teaspoon of kosher salt. Don't worry about the liquid at the bottom of the bowl.
    2.
    Spread the tofu cubes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Remove from the oven and set aside.
    3.
    Place a stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the remaining oil, followed by minced garlic, ginger, and thickly sliced red onion. Sauté for 30 seconds, then add the curry powder and sauté for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant.
    4.
    Pour in the coconut milk and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze any browned bits. Add the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer for 10 minutes on low heat.
    5.
    Add the green beans first and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Then, add the eggplant and zucchini, cooking until softened but not mushy. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
    6.
    Gently fold in the baked tofu and cook until heated through, about 1-2 minutes. Divide into bowls, top with fresh chopped cilantro, and serve immediately.
