Almond Tofu Curry

You can’t beat a good curry and this super healthy, super tasty recipe is a testament to that! The sweet potato forms just a small part of the recipe but is actually where a lot of the sustenance and nutrition lies! Sweet potatoes are especially high in vitamin A, vitamin B5, thiamin, niacin and riboflavin! They are also high in carotenoids, which is where their fantastic colour comes from!

Ingredients:

• 1 onion
• 2 chillies
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 inch ginger
• 1 cup whole almonds
• 1 tbsp tamarind paste
• A dash of water
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 block of firm tofu
• 400 ml coconut milk
• 200 ml vegetable stock
• 1 large sweet potato
• 2 cup broccoli
• 1 cup fresh spinach

Instructions:

• To get started you must first place the onion, chillies, garlic, ginger, almonds and tamarind paste into your food processor with a dash of water. You can then blitz into a paste. Feel free to add a dash more water if necessary.
• You can then add this paste to a large skillet with the coconut oil and cook on a medium heat. After a few moments you should then add in the chunks of tofu. Stir the skillet and cook for 15 minutes before adding in the coconut milk and vegetable stock. Continue to stir well and then add in the sweet potato and broccoli. Leave to cook for ten minutes before you add in the spinach and then cook for a further five minutes before serving.
• You can either eat as it is or serve over brown rice or quinoa.
