For this curry, toss all the ingredients into the pot and leave to cook. It is the ultimate comfort dish for vegetarians.The slow-cooked vegetables and pulses combine with creamy coconut for a gentle flavour, while the tofu becomes soft and tender. It’s perfect any day of the week, served with nutty brown rice. (I allow one cup of cooked rice per person.)
