Let's Get Cooking
1. In a non-stick skillet, pour EVOO, Mustard Seeds, Jeera (Cumin) Seeds and Hing (Asafoetida). Turn the stove-top to a low. Once the Mustard Seeds start popping, add Ginger, Garlic, Green Chilies. Mix then add the Red Onions and salt. Increase the stove-top heat/flame to a medium-low and saute until the Red Onions become pink or translucent in colour.
2. Add your remaining vegetables and lastly the Sunrise Soya Foods Tofu. Saute the mixture on a medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes. Afterwards, cover with a lid and let this mixture cook in a simmer setting for another 3 minutes, before stirring once more.
3. Remove the lid of the skillet and gently fold all the the spices and Tofu together, creating a scintillating aroma of earthy spices - the smell of comfort and home!
COOKING TIP: At this point do a taste test! This will ensure that your dish is to your desired taste preference.
4. Serve your homemade Tofu Vegetable Curry, as a side, with a fragrant Basmati rice or even some homemade chapatis *Ouuu soo delish*
