Pea & tomato curry with spiced tofu & flatbreads

Peas are one of my favourite store cupboard (freezer) ingredients.

You can whip up a dip or soup in minutes, so sweet and packed with plant-based protein, not to mention they are a such cost-effective ingredient.

But I really love to add them to curries, I think their juicy sweetness is the perfect pairing for Indian spices.

Today Ive made a simple tomato and pea curry and topped it with spiced crispy tofu.

And, if that’s not delicious enough, add some little gram flour pancake flatbreads to scoop it all up.

I hope you enjoy this recipe, love Niki xx

For the flatbreads

  • 100 ml water

Instructions

To make the curry

  • Add the oil to a large pan and heat to a low to medium heat. Add in the spices until they pop. Stir for a few seconds, then add in the onion. Fry for approx 8-10 minutes until soft and browning.
  • Add in the garlic and ginger and stir for another few minutes, then add in the chopped tomatoes.
  • Turn up the heat to medium, add the water and cook for a further 5-6 minutes.
  • Now add the peas, coconut yogurt and stir to combine. Allow to warm through.

To make the tofu

  • Mix the spices and oil in a tub, add the tofu and carefully coat the tofu. Allow to marinade for at least 15 minutes if you can.
  • In another pan- Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok. Fry the tofu for a few mins on each side until brown and crispy, then transfer to a plate.

To make the flatbreads

  • Add the gram flour and seasoning to a large bowl. Stir to combine. Add in the water, olive oil and vinegar. Mix to a smooth batter. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  • Add a little oil to the base of a non-stick small frying pan. Add 1/4 cup of the batter to the pan and swirl around the bottom so you get an even crepe.
  • Cook on a medium heat for approximately 2 minutes until there are bubbles in the crepe and you can lift over to flip easily.
  • Flip and cook on the other side for 30 seconds to a minute.
  • Remove from the pan and place on and cover with a clean cloth to keep warm.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining batter.

To serve

  • Top the curry with the crispy tofu and coriander.
  • Serve with the crepes.

    Just realised gram is gluten-free, does buckwheat flour work in these flatbreads too?

    Made this the other night, was amazing. Added spinach. What flour do you reccomend for gluten-free flatbreads?

    Great recipe! It just didn’t say when to add the coconut cream, so add it it with the water. Nice taste!
