Meat-Free Monday was established to raise awareness about the environmental impacts of eating meat, and encourage people to cut down a little. (Did you catch our post a couple of weeks back which tells you a bit more? Click to here.)
This week’s recipe is Veggie Korma
Veggie Korma
Even if you don’t like spicy food, Korma is a very mild curry, and you can buy korma paste from supermarkets.
- 1 onion
- 1 bell peppers
- 2 carrots
- 500g potatoes
- 3 handfuls of swiss chard (or any leafy green vegetable)
- ¼ cup korma paste (from supermarket)
- 200g (about 8 oz) tofu
- 375 ml (about 1½ cups) natural yoghurt
Peel the veggies, grate the carrot and chop everything else. Heat the a little oil in a large saucepan, and add the onions. Stir well, put the lid on the saucepan and allow the onions to soften for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the lid and stir in the korma paste, allowing it to cook through for a few minutes.
Add the rest of the vegetables. Add just enough water to cover the veggies (you want them to cook, but not be too wet).
Simmer for about 15 minutes until potatoes are starting soften (giving it a stir from time to time). Crumble the tofu in and stir through. Chop the chard and stir it in (it looks like masses of chard, but don’t worry, it “melts” down to practically nothing)
Give it another few minutes for the tofu to warm through and the chard to melt down, then take off the heat and stir through natural yoghurt.
Serve however you prefer – we had ours with rice, shop-bought naan bread and a dollop of natural yoghurt.
Serves 4
