Vegan Creamy Tofu Curry ( sans cream!)

You need to whip up a quick curry for your family? And you want something vegan too and with tofus? This is pretty much your best bet. Can be cooked in 30-40 mins including preparations.

You need a blender to cream this curry. Blending the curry this way leaves us with a thick but light curry. The best part is we do not have the added calories resting on our hips!

Coriander leaves has been blended into the curry to give it a beautiful flavor together with the tanginess of the puréed tomatoes. I didn't grill the tofus because of the short time limit. But it can be done if more time is available and grilling holds the tofu better so it doesn't disintegrate into the curry.

Ingredients ( Serves 4)

1 block of firm tofu ( 450gm / 16 oz)

2 tbsp good quality veg oil

1 medium sized onion, chopped big

1 tsp ginger, minced

1/2 green chilli ( or 1 full if you prefer spicier), chopped big

2 big tomatoes, chopped big

1/3 cup coriander leaves, chopped roughly

1 tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp coriander powder

1/2 tsp chilli powder

1/2 tsp cumin powder

Water - as and when you need to thin the curry

Extra coriander leaves, chopped fine for garnish

Method

Cut the tofu into mini triangles and keep aside.

Heat the oil in a saucepot, then add in the onions. Fry for 2-3 mins till brown.

Add in the cut chilli and minced ginger and fry for another 2-3 mins.

Add in all the spice powders and fry for a minute to let them marry with the onion, chilli and ginger.

Add in the cut tomatoes, coriander leaves and 1/2 cup water and let it cook for 5-10mins on medium heat. When the tomatoes has turned to pulp, switch off the fire and cool the curry for 5 minutes.

Pour this tomato mixture into a blender and blend it smooth. What you'll get is a creamy tomato curry with no cream or milk whatsoever. 

Pour this tomato curry back into your pot, add in the cut tofus and cook for another 5-10 mins. Add in water as needed.

Garnish with coriander leaves and serve warm with rice or chapathis ( wholewheat flatbread).

Interesting recipe to try. Looks delicious and i don't think cream is always necessary to give a creamy look.

I agree with you totally. You can also use ground CashewNut paste or even blended silken tofu.
