Instructions

  1. In a large skillet or pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions become translucent.
  2. Add the red bell pepper slices and broccoli florets to the pan. Sauté until they begin to soften.

  4. Pour in the vegetable broth or water and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

  6. Just before turning off the heat, stir in the fresh spinach, letting it wilt from the heat of the curry.

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!
