Cozy vegetarian curry with tofu, pumpkin, and green beans for a satisfying and healthy meal.
Ingredients:
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 20.00 ml finely grated fresh ginger
  • 2 long fresh red chillies, deseeded, chopped
  • 5.00 gm curry powder
  • 9.20 gm macadamia oil
  • 350g firm tofu, cut into cubes
  • 12 fresh curry leaves, plus extra, fried, to serve
  • 300ml reduced-fat coconut milk
  • 300ml salt-reduced vegetable stock
  • 500g pumpkin, peeled, deseeded, cut into 3cm pieces
  • 200g green beans, trimmed, halved
  • 75g baby spinach
  • 500.00 ml cooked quinoa
  • Lime wedges, to serve
Instructions:
  • Combine the onion, garlic, ginger, chilies, and curry powder in a small food processor and blend into a thick paste.
  • Heat half of the oil in a large wok or non-stick pan over high heat. Cook the tofu in two batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer the tofu to a plate and set it aside.
  • Lower heat to medium and introduce the curry paste to the wok. Saute, stirring continuously, for 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Then, include the curry leaves and cook for an additional minute, stirring consistently.
  • Combine coconut milk and stock in a pot and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer covered for 5 minutes. Add pumpkin and tofu, continue to simmer covered for 6-7 minutes until pumpkin is nearly tender. Mix in beans and simmer covered for an additional 2-3 minutes until tender. Finally, stir in spinach until it wilts.
  • Top quinoa with curry, a squeeze of lime juice, and extra curry leaves before serving.
