Sweet Potato Tofu Curry

Sorry no picture.  I ate it before I remembered to grab the camera!

Ingredients
Tofu, 1 pkg
2 Sweet potatoes
Sweet peas (desired amount)
Coconut milk, 13.5 oz
Water, 1/4 cup
Tomato paste, 1 Tbsp
Curry
Ginger
Garlic powder
Salt
Olive oil
Cilantro, fresh chopped

Directions
Cube sweet potatoes and bake in oven at 450 F for 30 minutes or until tender.  Cube tofu and saute in pan on medium high heat with olive oil until golden brown.  Add curry, ginger, and garlic powder.  Saute for an additional 2 minutes.  Add fresh or frozen peas, 3/4 can coconut milk, tomato paste, water. Simmer until ingredients are well blended.  Add cilantro.  Mix and serve!      

Tips

  • Add the remaining 1/4 can of coconut milk and additional water if you want a creamier texture.
  • Would go great with a thin layer of basmati rice underneath to soak up some of the curry yumminess!
