Ingredients
- 300g organic tofu, cubed
- vegetable oil
- 1 finely chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1 cup chopped organic tomatoes
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 1⁄2 cup organic coconut cream
- 1 1⁄2 cups organic frozen green peas, thawed
To serve:
- 1⁄2 cup chopped coriander
- Extra coconut cream
- Down to Earth organic papadum
- Down to Earth organic mango chutney
- Organic rice (cooked)
Method
Heat 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet and saute the tofu in batches (add more oil if necessary), until lightly browned, and drain on paper toweling.
In a large pan, heat 3-4 tbsp oil and cook the onion, ginger and garlic until the onion is tender, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the coriander, cumin, salt, turmeric, and cayenne, and cook until the spices become fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, water, coconut cream and peas and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the sauce is thick and smooth.
Add the tofu and cook for a further 2 minutes to reheat.
Garnish with coriander before serving with papadums, mango chutney and rice. You can add a dollop of extra coconut cream for a richer, more dramatic effect!
