I spotted tofu while at the supermarket and grabbed some on a whim. It sat in my fridge for a few days as I wondered what to make with it – enter CURRY!! I’ve also been finding ways of adding protein to my diet so I added in chickpeas to create a delicious chickpea and tofu curry.
I love the mix of spices in this number – coriander, cumin, turmeric, paprika. Plus the ginger and chilli give it the perfect kick! It’s also very creamy and not too hot which you can always adjust as you like.
If you’re thinking of ordering a takeaway think twice!! Serve it with quinoa and broccoli and you’ve got a fantastic mix! I’d love to know if you try it out. xx
