Made a New Years resolution to try and stop eating meat. Totally failed so far, but today I tried to make a quick curry without it! #vegetarian #quickdish #spicy #lockdownlunch

Steps

20 mins

1

Gather your ingredients ready to start cooking
2

Slice the onions, roughly crush and chop the garlic cloves, and fry in 1 tbsp vegetable oil until browned
3

Add the cumin, coriander, curry powder and paprika to the onions, stir and continue fry for a couple of minutes
4

Next, pour in the chopped tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes. Add a cup of water if it starts to look too dry
5

While the onion and tomato sauce is simmering, dice the tofu into small cubes and fry in the olive oil for a few minutes until browned. Turn them out onto a kitchen towel to dry
6

Now pour your strained and rinsed chickpeas into the curry sauce and add the garam masala. Stir well on a medium heat for a couple more minutes. Optionally add the yoghurt here if you want a milder dish along with additions like cherry tomatoes or spinach

Lastly add the fried tofu and chopped spring onions to the pan, stir a few times then serve over fresh rice
