INGREDIENTS
 
1 tablespoon olive oil
 
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
 
1 1/2 tablespoons vegan curry powder
 
1/4 cup (70 g) tomato paste
 
400 tablespoons vegan Thai red curry paste
 
400 ml can full-fat coconut milk
 
450 g extra-firm tofu, pressed and diced
 
1 cup (200 g) long-grain rice
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS
 
1.   Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30-45 seconds, until soft.
Stir in the curry powder and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
 
2.   Add the tomato paste, coconut milk, 1 cup (250 ml) water and tofu and mix well. Cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring regularly, or until the curry has thickened. Remove from heat.
 
3.   Meanwhile, cook the rice in a saucepan of boiling water for 12 minutes or until tender. Drain well.
 
4.   To serve, divide rice among serving bowls and top with the curry.
 
    TIP: For some greens, you can add a few handfuls of spinach during the last two minutes of cooking and stir until wilted then garnish with coriander leaves.
