Spicy Pineapple Curry Delight

Today’s Special: Spicy Pineapple Curry with Crispy Tofu

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m sharing a recipe that’s perfect for those chilly autumn evenings when you’re craving something comforting and warm. This spicy pineapple curry with crispy tofu is a flavorful and satisfying dish that always puts a smile on my face. The combination of sweet pineapple, spicy curry, and crispy tofu is a real winner in my book.

Ingredients:

• extra-firm tofu (350g), cubed
• pineapple chunks (200g)
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 1 can of coconut milk (400ml)
• 2 tablespoons of curry powder
• 1 teaspoon of chili flakes
• 1 cup of vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
• cooked rice, for serving

Kitchen Tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• large skillet
• wooden spoon
• measuring spoons

I start by sautéing the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger in coconut oil until fragrant. Then, I add the curry powder and chili flakes, toasting them for a minute to release their flavors. Next, I pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring well to combine.

Once the sauce is simmering, I gently fold in the tofu cubes, making sure they are coated in the flavorful curry mixture. I let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the tofu is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly. Then, I add the pineapple chunks and cook for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

To serve, I dish up the spicy pineapple curry over a bed of fluffy rice, garnishing with fresh cilantro leaves for a pop of color and freshness. The contrast of the sweet pineapple, spicy curry, and crispy tofu is truly a delight for the taste buds.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 800g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 200g and has an estimated calorie count of 350 calories.

For an extra kick of flavor, try sprinkling some toasted coconut flakes on top of the curry before serving. It adds a lovely crunch and nuttiness that complements the dish perfectly.

I hope you give this spicy pineapple curry with crispy tofu a try and enjoy it as much as I do. Feel free to play around with the ingredients and make it your own. Happy cooking!
