This curry is comforting, warm and full of aromatic flavours. We cheated slightly and bought the Tesco’s vegan Red Thai curry paste but you can make your own too. Yes this curry is vegan! We added tofu fried in coconut oil, creamy coconut milk and mixed peppers for the curry but you can add broccoli or mushrooms too if you like. It tastes great with a bowl of rice!
