Curried Vegetables

Curried vegetables offer healthy eaters the warmth and comfort we desire from our meals. Curry is a powerful and flavorful blend of spices, mainly turmeric and cumin. There is a mild version to a hot.

This recipe uses fried tofu, which sounds unhealthy, however tofu is one of view food items that retains very little oil after it is cooked. We fry it to give it a firmer texture. When it is added to the stew, it absorbs the curry flavor perfectly.
