- 2-3 ripe but firm bananas, sliced

How to Make Banana Tofu Curry
- Prepare the ingredients: Chop the onion and slice the bananas. Press the tofu and cube it.
- Sauté the onion: Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Deglaze with wine: Pour in the white wine and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
- Add coconut milk and spices: Pour in the coconut milk. Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Simmer and add sweetness: Bring to a simmer, then add the shredded coconut and raisins. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 minutes.
- 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.
- Serve immediately: Serve the Banana Tofu Curry hot over cooked basmati rice. Garnish with chopped nuts and a dollop of chutney.
- Note: Avoid overcooking; this can result in a mushy texture.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
