- 400ml coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh coriander, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Tofu: Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Cut it into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
- Add Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the pan and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
- Spice It Up: Stir in the garam masala, coriander powder, cumin powder, and curry powder. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
- Incorporate Tofu: Gently add the cubed tofu to the pan, stirring carefully to avoid breaking the tofu.
- Add Coconut Milk: Pour in the coconut milk and stir well to combine all the ingredients. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Season: Taste the curry and add salt as needed. Adjust the spices if you prefer a stronger flavor.
- Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh coriander if desired. Serve hot with rice or naan.
