Cauliflower Curry

Sounds weird right?  But It's really good.  I adapted this from a South Beach diet cookbook.  Hope you enjoy.  This is what I'm making tonight.  I'll try to post a picture of it.

Cauliflower Curry


1 Package BAKED tofu  cut in bite sized cubes (find it at a health food store)
1tbs oil
1 Onion chopped
1 green bell pepper chopped
2 tsp minced garlic or 2 cloves
1 tbs Homemade curry powder OR tbs Green Curry Paste
1tsp chopped ginger
1 head cauliflower cut into florets
1 can coconut milk or light coconut milk
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth.
salt and pepper

1. heat oil in large skillet over med-hi heat.  Add tofu.  Season with some salt and pepper.
2. When tofu starts to look crisp, add garlic and ginger.  Mix.
3. Add curry paste/powder and onion and green bell pepper.  Cook about 2 minutes, until fragrant.  And you think, "it's sticking to the pan"
4. Add broth and coconut milk.  Stir until you get everything off the bottom of the pan.
5. Add Cauliflower.  Simmer until the Cauliflower is crisp tender.  Serve over rice.

Notes--
You can use chicken instead of tofu.  I used about 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
When using tofu in curry I like BAKED tofu.  Wildwood Baked tofu in Teriyaki flavor is good.  Baked tofu stays firm in curry and doesn't crumble.  It's more the consistency of Paneer Cheese

  1. I just made lentil curry today. The sauce was almost the same as yours minus the tofu and cauliflower. Then add it to a couple cups of lentils and serve over rice. Great minds think alike. :)
