  • Cilantro, for garnish

Steps

  • 1
    Cube tofu into 1/2-inch cubes and add to a medium or large slow cooker.
  • 2
    Roughly chop onion and peppers. Mince the garlic and ginger finer.
  • 3
    Add to slow cooker along with corn, spices, coconut milk, vegetable stock, and tomato paste.
  • 4
    Stir together. Cook curry on low heat for 5-6 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    When chopping your vegetables, dice them in a uniform manner so they cook consistently.
  • tip 2
    Depending on the brand, ¼ cup of red curry paste will make a mild curry. You can always add more curry paste after the curry has cooked if you prefer a spicier dish.
  • tip 3
    This tofu curry also serves well with flatbread rather than basmati rice.
