Notes
For a creamy consistency, a splash of coconut milk or almond milk can be added. This tofu and veggie curry pairs exquisitely with quinoa or brown rice, offering a delightful texture contrast. If you’re up for some heat, sprinkle in crushed red pepper flakes or freshly chopped green chilies. A sprinkle of roasted sesame seeds or crushed peanuts on top can also add a wonderful crunch. Enjoy!
