Nepalese Citrus Curry

This dish is one of my favourite Nepalese dishes. I never thought making it was so simple until one day, I saw my Nepalese friend cooking it at her house. It was very quick to make, but it also used a lot of creams. So maybe, don't cook it too often. Lol.
For the vegan option, you can use coconut cream and tofu instead. I always have it with tofu, but my friends told me it would go well with fish or prawn.
Note: chilli is optional. You can skip it if you don't like it spicy. The original recipe use cooking cream. My friend used half cooking cream and half coconut milk. I used only coconut milk (still good).
My friend also told me to add sour cream as well before serving, if you want it thicker like in the restaurant. I think without it was still good, so I didn't add it to my dish.

I adapted this recipe from Justine Snack’s sungold tomato curry. She uses sungold tomatoes which are vibrant and very sweet, but here I substitute for regular cherry tomatoes which work just fine.I also added kale for extra nutrients, but feel free to substitute for spinach or other leafy greens (or omit entirely). Next time I’ll experiment with adding mint as well as basil at the end. Genna -

Lentil and tomato curry, Indian style Lentil and tomato curry, Indian style
Recently summoned the courage to experiment with Indian spices and was pleased that the results were pretty tasty. I didn't strictly measure ingredients, sorry, so these are my best estimates (YMMV). Very easy to make, too, which is a huge plus. I served it with an improvised mixed raita of Greek yogurt, green onions, tomato, and mint, plus a frozen paratha that I revived in butter. Jon -

Curry Natto Cold Tofu or Boiled Tofu for Diet Curry Natto Cold Tofu or Boiled Tofu for Diet
The curry natto diet that Japanese actress Aya Ueto supposedly lost 5 kg on. Eat natto with curry mixed in at least once a day before a meal!!I tried increasing the filling feel and the mineral content of the tofu.Tofu digests well and doesn't burden your stomach, so it's perfect for a meal to wake you up! Has just the right amount of vegetable fat to have you feeling full! So it seems this can help you to avoid eating too much at lunch. For a diet I recommend boiled tofu. It's really effective eating this before a meal. Recipe by Anebuta cookpad.japan -
