How to Make Banana Tofu Curry

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Chop the onion and slice the bananas. Press the tofu and cube it.
  2. Sauté the onion: Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Deglaze with wine: Pour in the white wine and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
  4. Add coconut milk and spices: Pour in the coconut milk. Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  5. Simmer and add sweetness: Bring to a simmer, then add the shredded coconut and raisins. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes.
  6. Incorporate bananas and tofu: Gently stir in the sliced bananas and continue to cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Add the cubed tofu and cook until heated through, adding water or coconut milk as needed to adjust the sauce consistency.
  7. Serve immediately: Serve the Banana Tofu Curry hot over cooked basmati rice. Garnish with chopped nuts and a dollop of chutney.
  8. Note: Avoid overcooking; this can result in a mushy texture.
