Deliciously Creamy Curry

Serves: 4-6
Ingredients:

3 medium potatoes
2 medium carrots
1 package of firm tofu
flour
1/2 head of cauliflower
3 garlic cloves
1/2 white onion
1 red pepper
fresh corn from 1 cob
small knob of ginger
2 large tomatoes
3 tbspns curry powder
1/2 cup plain soy yogurt or soy milk*
1 cup water
2 tspns sea or crystal salt
pepper to taste
handful of chopped cilantro
olive oil

*if using soy milk you should reduce the amount of water to 3/4 cup


1. Start by filling a medium pot with water and bring to a boil. While the water is boiling, chop potatoes, carrots, and caulflower into small chunks. Add to water.

2. While these vegetables are softening, drain tofu and cut into small triangles. Salt and pepper tofu slices. Add a little bit of flour to a plate and bread your tofu by patting it into the flour on each side. While you're doing this, heat a medium size pan with a tiny bit of olive oil and once your tofu is breaded throw in pan. Slightly brown both sides, turn off heat, and set aside.

3. Now start to dice garlic cloves, ginger, onion, red pepper, and tomatoes. In a large pot, add just enough olive oil to cover the pan and heat on high. Once everything is chopped, add to the pot and fry until fragrance is released and tomatoes start to become soft. Then add 3 tbspns of curry to the pot, a pinch of pepper, and 2 tspns of salt. I used 2 tbspns of spicy curry and 1 tbspn of bangalore mild curry. Use curry of preference.

4. Mix at the bottom of pan for a few more minutes to ensure that curry is properly mixed in. Then add water, yogurt, corn, and tofu. Stir and bring to low heat.

5. Drain the water from the potatoes, carrots, and cauliflowers and add to the mix. Let simmer about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Salt to taste. Add chopped cilantro or garnish each plate with it later.
