*make sure it doesn’t contain shrimp or fish sauce as some makes do

Method:
Cook the rice according to the instructions on the packet. Drain well and keep warm.

Wrap the tofu in several layers of kitchen towel and press firmly with the palms of your hands to extract the excess water. Cut into cubes or triangles. Heat oil to a depth of ½ cm/1/4” in a frying pan and fry the tofu until golden on both sides. Drain and reserve.

Heat 15ml/1 tbsp of oil in a saucepan and gently fry the shallots or onion, garlic and aubergine for 5 minutes. Add the Thai red curry paste and cook over a gentle heat for 2 minutes.

Add the other vegetables, reserved tofu and coconut milk and simmer for 15-20 minutes until cooked. Add the lime or lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Serve the curry with the Thai fragrant rice, garnished with sprigs of fresh coriander.
