This simple mango curry with tofu is bursting with fresh, fruity flavors and deep spices. Serve it together with rice and fresh cilantro.

Ingredients

Scale

For the mango curry tofu:

  • 1 block (200g) firm tofu
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika powder
  • Salt and Ground pepper, to taste
  • 2 teaspoons oil
  • 1 white onion
  • 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon chilli paste
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) mango puree*
  • 1 can (400g/14oz) coconut milk
  • 1 fresh mango, diced
  • Salt, to taste

For serving:

  • Fresh cilantro
  • Coconut Yoghurt

Instructions

  1. Chop the tofu into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, blend the tofu cubes with curry powder, paprika, black pepper and salt.
  2. Heat one teaspoon of oil in a frying pan and fry the tofu for 5-7 minutes, turning the pieces until they are golden brown on all sides. Take off the heat and set aside.
  3. Place the onion, ginger and garlic into a food processor or blender, and blitz until you have a smooth puree.
  4. Heat another large skillet with a teaspoon of oil and fry the puree with the chilli paste, garam masala and ground cumin for 10-15 minutes on a medium/high heat until most of the moisture is gone.
  5. Add the mango puree, coconut milk, salt and stir so everything is combined. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Add the tofu and stir in so it’s coated with sauce.
  7. Add the diced mango and simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the sauce is reduced and thick.
  8. Serve with rice, fresh coriander and a drizzle of soy or coconut yoghurt.

Notes

*I blended 1 ripe mango in a food processor, it’s very important that the mango is ripe, otherwise the curry will taste bland. If you can’t find a ripe mango, you can use canned puree, just make sure that the only ingredient is mango/water (ie. no added sugars).
