How to Make Tofu And Green Peas

  1. Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a medium-sized pan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, 1-2 finely chopped jalapeños (optional), 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, and 1 tablespoon curry powder. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. Pour in 1 can (13.5 oz) of full-fat coconut milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and any other desired spices (e.g., red pepper flakes for heat). Stir well.
  5. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. While the sauce simmers, press and cut 1 block (14 oz) of firm or extra-firm tofu into 1/2-inch cubes.
  7. Gently add the tofu cubes to the simmering sauce. Continue simmering for 5-7 minutes, or until the tofu is heated through and slightly browned.
  8. Stir in 1 cup of frozen green peas. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the peas are heated through.
  9. Serve the curry over cooked rice. Garnish with extra cilantro, a dollop of plain yogurt, and chutney (optional).
