Tofu curry with rice

This is my very first cooking recipe I am writing about. And it is actually one of the very few recipes I am able to cook. For your information: I am not a great cook at all (and my name is not Jamie Oliver). But I am patient and I am learning, especially from m-c’s cooking magic (obviously inspired by Jamie… LOL).

So let’s get started with the TCR recipe (=Tofu Curry with rice). It’s really easy to prepare and healthy too… and veggie-friendly… and even vegan-friendly for really complicated people ;-).

The ingredients:

We need one onion  and some potatoes and broccoli and coconut milk and basmati rice and tofu and some garlic and one carrot (sorry no photo, just try to imagine how carrots look like) and some curry powder (it looks similar to that: ::….:…:::..). 

Try to buy organic vegetables, for example here! So you can make sure that your vegetables did not soak up any pesticides.

The cooking process:

1 ) Cut the onions in small pieces and put some sunflower oil into a pan (I am using a Wok with a cover, which is practical for cooking vegetables) together with the onions. Cut the broccoli into small pieces.

You see some carrots in the background, right? Please cut them as well. And don’t forget to peel and cut the potatoes. BTW, I love cutting vegetables and I spend a lot of time on it. It has a relaxing effect on me.

2 ) Heat the pan with the onions. Add some roughly cut pieces of garlic to the onions. Wait until the onions become “golden”, but not brown. In the mean time, please cut the tofu in 3D cubes.

3 ) Put some curry powder into the pan and stir the onions and garlic with it.

4 ) Now put the potatoes, the broccoli and carrots into the pan. Close the pan and let it broil for a while.

5 ) Pour the coconut milk into the pan and mix the vegetables with it. At that time I add some salt’n’pepper. Close the pan again and let it cook, at small heat for 5 minutes.

6 ) If you are organized than you could have prepared the rice already. I did not, so I have to do it now. I use 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of water, if I eat alone. 😉

7 ) Put the 3D tofu cubes into the pan. Let it broil for 2 more minutes, or less if you think. The target is to not get soft vegetables. I like them crisp!

8 ) After the rice is ready, you can eat. I am always very proud if I cooked something by myself. Bon appetit !
