How to Make Curried Chicken Or Tofu

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken or tofu with 2 tablespoons of lime juice and set aside for 10 minutes to marinate.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 medium chopped onion, 2 minced cloves of garlic, and 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger to the skillet.
  4. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent and softened, about 5 minutes. Do not brown.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons of curry powder and cook for another 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  6. Add 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained) and 1/2 cup of tomato juice.
  7. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Uncover the skillet and add the marinated chicken or tofu.
  9. Stir well to combine. If using chicken, cook for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through. If using tofu, cook for 3-5 minutes, or until heated through.
  10. Serve immediately. Garnish with fresh cilantro or lime wedges, if desired.
