Why This Recipe Works
There are a lot of delicious Indian curries but this one has a separate fan base 😉 as we are using the best and healthy ingredients to save your time and to serve you the best.
This one-pot recipe serves you a delicious taste and warmth in less than 15 minutes.
Recipe Ingredients
Tofu- The main ingredient of this dish, it is made of condensed soy milk that is shaped like a block, also known as Bean Curds, Tofu can be silken, firm, extra-firm, or super firm but here we are making it extra-firm.
Curry paste- Add to make this recipe tastier, prepared with some spices and veggies, you don't have to prepare it, buy your favorite curry paste from any market.
Kaffir Lime Leaves- It has a citrusy flavor or bitter taste because of its leaves. Many of us don't like much so you can also add Traditional lime leaves, But I would personally recommend you to try Kaffir Lime Leaves. If you don't have them, you can use any Kaffir Lime Leaves Substitute instead.
Vegetables - anything you like. I used red and green bell peppers and onion.

Notes
- If you want the tofu to be chunkier you have to boil tofu in the sauce first.
- You can use cauliflower rice or shirataki rice instead of regular rice if you are on a low-carb diet.
- If you are making it buttery try using dairy and anyone who has Lactose intolerance uses vegan butter.
