PANANG TOFU AND VEGETABLE CURRY

Steps:

• Method: Heat half the oil in a thick bottomed pan and saute the tofu till they turn golden. You can also deep fry them, but I rarely deep fry anything at home. Mix the panang curry paste in a mortar and pestle or roughly grind it in a mixer. Set it aside. Heat the rest of the oil and temper it with red chilli. Add the panang curry paste and saute for a couple of minutes. Then add the coconut milk and let it cook on medium heat (closed lid) for 4-5 minutes. Then add soy sauce, lime zest, sugar and salt. Add tofu and the vegetables and cook till the vegetables are done and the curry has a thick sauce. In the meantime, boil rice noodles as per the package instructions. Serve the tofu panang curry over rice noodles and garnish with fresh cilantro.
