Description

This simple but delicious curry recipe calls for just a handful of everyday ingredients. Whip this up for a healthy weeknight dinner, served over your favourite rice.


Ingredients

  • 1 small or half a medium-sized white onion, approx. 1.5 cups.
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tbsp green curry paste (can also be made with red curry paste)
  • 2 cups peeled and cubed sweet potato
  • 1 14 oz can light coconut milk (use full-fat if desired)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or gluten-free tamari
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen green peas
  • half a 225 g package firm or extra-firm tofu, cubed
  • rice of choice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions

  1. Add the onion, garlic and ginger to a large pan with 2 tbsp water and start cooking over medium heat. Cook while stirring for 4-6 minutes until soft and translucent.
  2. Add the curry paste and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
