Mixed Vegetable Curry In Coconut Gravy Recipes

VEGETARIAN COCONUT CURRY WITH TOFU

Steps:

• Wrap tofu in 2 to 3 layers of paper towels and place on a plate. Place a second plate on top to encourage fluid out of the tofu. Let sit until paper towels are saturated, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking tray.
• Discard wet paper towels and cube tofu. Place on the prepared baking tray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until adequately dry, about 20 minutes.
• While the tofu is baking, drain pineapple chunks, reserving juice.
• Combine coconut milk, liquid aminos, ginger, curry paste, chili powder, curry powder, and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat. Add reserved pineapple juice and bring to a boil. Reduce temperature to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
• Mix cornstarch and water together in a small bowl; add to the coconut milk mixture and whisk until slightly thickened.
• Stir in basil and jalapeno; cook for 1 minute. Add bok choy, spinach, green onions, mushrooms, chile peppers, tomatoes, and pineapple chunks; stir to coat. Cook over medium heat until vegetables are crisp tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add tofu and stir to coat. Season with salt. Transfer to a covered dish for 10 minutes to let flavors mix, or serve immediately.

VEGETABLE CURRY WITH COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• Heat ghee in a large saucepan over low heat. Add onion, garlic, and curry powder. Cook and stir until onion is soft and curry powder is fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes. Add coconut milk and carrots. Bring to a boil, stirring often.
• Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add potato and parsnip and continue to simmer, covered, until just tender, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Add broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, and water; simmer, covered, until all vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

MIXED VEGETABLE CURRY IN COCONUT GRAVY

Steps:

• Finely dice the carrots.
• Peel and dice the potatoes.
• Put the carrots and potatoes in a medium-size saucepan with 1 teaspoon salt.
• Add water just to cover. Don't add too much water now, just enough to cook the vegetables. You can always add more water as needed.
• Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, take out 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut. I usually use frozen and defrost it in the microwave.
• Roughly chop two jalapeno chilies.
• Put the coconut and chilies in a spice grinder and puree. If necessary add 1-2 teaspoons of water.
• Add the coconut mixture to the boiling potatoes in the saucepan.
• After the potatoes have cooked for 7 minutes, add 1 cup frozen green beans, 1/4 cup frozen lima beans. and 1 teaspoon ground coriander or ground cumin.
• Stir to blend, adding a bit more water if needed.
• Cook another 5 minutes.
• Add the frozen peas and cook 2 more minutes.
• Check the vegetables. If the vegetables are tender and the consistency of the gravy is not too thick or too thin, you may turn off the heat.
• If you have a curry that is too runny, you may need to mix 2-4 teaspoons of chickpea flour with a little water and add to the curry to thicken it up.
• Once the curry is ready, in a small frying pan put the oil, mustard seeds and (split white) urad dal. Heat over high heat until the mustard seeds are popping and the dal (lentil) is light brown.
• Quickly stir the curry leaves into the hot oil with the mustard seeds, then add everything to the vegetables in the saucepan.
• You may substitute and use different vegetables if desired.
