Vegetarian Yellow Curry image

This is the best curry dish I have ever had. A Japanese roommate and I made it up in college on a dark winter night to avoid writing final papers out of the leftovers we dug up in the kitchen. The curry paste is easy to find in little cans at import stores, and you can add as little or as much spice as you want to the dish. It is both one pot and vegetarian. Serve over a big scoop of rice and garnish with peanuts, cilantro, and raisins.

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons curry paste, or more to taste
1 dried red chile pepper
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (12 ounce) package firm tofu, drained and cubed
2 small potatoes, cubed
2 medium carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk
1 cup milk, or more to taste
2 medium zucchini, chopped
1 (16 ounce) bag fresh spinach

Steps:

  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and garlic; cook until garlic is gently browned, about 1 minute. Add curry paste and whole chile pepper; pan-fry until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add onion; cook until softened but not yet translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add tofu; pan-fry until all sides are browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Add potatoes, carrots, and celery. Season mixture with salt and pepper. Saute until carrots and celery begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • Add coconut milk and regular milk to cover vegetables. Add zucchini and cover. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until all vegetables are soft and potatoes are cooked, about 20 minutes. Add spinach and stir until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove chile pepper before serving.

This curry was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my curry didn't turn out as flavorful as I hoped. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This curry was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less chili next time.
