Steps

1To begin making the Vegetarian Thai Green Curry With Tofu Cut all vegetables as specified in the ingredients list. except onions.
2Steam all the other vegetables with a light salt. I usually pop in all the vegetables in a microwaveable bowl and microwave them for 2 to 3 minutes until they are a little soft tossing them midway to evenly cook them.
3You can also boil these in hot water for about 5 minutes with a little salt. Take care to not overcook the vegetables as it will be nice to have a little crunch to the vegetables.
4Once done remove and drain out any excess water and save the water.
5In a pan add a teaspoon of oil and pan fry the cut tofu pieces until they are slightly brown. Keep aside.
6Heat a large wok, add 3 tablespoons of cooking oil and sauté the onions till they are light brown.
7Now add 3 tablespoons of the Thai green curry paste and cook for about 2-3 minutes till the paste gets cooked and the aromas are released.
8Next add the 800 ml of coconut milk, soy sauce and brown sugar (or jaggery).
9Let the entire sauce / gravy come to a boil. Taste the sauce. It should be spicy (from the Thai green curry paste), sweet (Coconut milk and brown sugar) and have the sufficient amount of salt (soy sauce and salt).
10Feel free to add more of an ingredient to get it to your taste.
11Add the pre cooked vegetables and the fried tofu to the sauce.
12Garnish with chopped cilantro. It will look gorgeous! You can also optionally sprinkle some roasted peanuts (roasted, deskinned and crushed) to get a crunchy texture to the food.
13Serve Vegetarian Thai Green Curry With Tofu along with Steamed Rice for a perfect weeknight dinner and a Thai Green Papaya Salad Recipeby the side.
