Ingredients

1 pack of The Spice Tailor Thai Massaman Curry
1 tbsp. of veg oil
100g of shitake or chestnut mushrooms, halved
125g of tofu puffs, halved (normal firm tofu if you can’t get or make tofu puffs)
150g of aubergine, cubed
50g of French beans, cut into 2.5 cm lengths
40g of roasted cashew nuts, lightly crushed or whole

Tips and Inspiration

Our Massaman is complex and flavourful and a wonderful sauce to pair with your vegetables. This is a really delicious tofu and aubergine curry with some added beans for crunch and, well, a little more veg. Tofu puffs have a lovely chewy texture and can be found in Asian markets. If you can’t find them, use firm tofu instead. You can add this in as it is sold or pan fry for some added texture. Massaman is generally finished with some roasted peanuts – we have added some cashews, which you can keep in, leave out or change for other nuts.

Method

Step one

Heat the vegetable oil in a pan and fry the whole herbs and spices from the sachet for 10 seconds.

Step two

Add the mushrooms, tofu, beans and aubergine. Sauté for 3-4 minutes.

Step three

Add the base sauce from the smaller pouch and fry for a few seconds.

Step four

Add the coconut milk from the larger pouch and 50ml water. Bring to a simmer and add the tofu.

Step five

Simmer for a few minutes or until the vegetables are cooked.

Step six

Stir in the cashew nuts, season to taste and serve.

Please ensure food is cooked through and piping hot before serving.
