Part of the 30-minute easy dinner club, this 1-pot curry requires minimal prep and not much work in the kitchen. It is the perfect dinner to make on busy nights or when you just want a soothing bowl of comfort food and no hassle!
I did not think I would be a seasonal eater, but it turns out I am! Partially on accident, I realized that I did not eat or make curry all summer long. And I can not even blame the hot weather, because we waited so long for a sweltering day that it is now fall season! And since this meal is a super easy dinner to make I have no excuses there either.
One quick recipe note. It is always best when cooking with tofu to press it as much as possible. this allows the water contained inside) to be replaced with the sauce of the dish. Making it full of flavor. If you have the time I would recommend this step. However, I normally make this dish when I am in a hurry and so I often skip this step and still end up with a delicious flavourful meal!
