Utensils
•Immersion blender
•Pot with Lid
Instructions
1
- Place a pot over medium-high heat with 300ml water (double for 4p), turmeric and stock.
- Bring to the boil then add the rice.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to medium and cover with the lid.
- Cook for 10 mins, then remove the pot from the heat.
- Keep covered for another 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
2
- Meanwhile, drain the tofu and chop into 2cm cubes. Pat dry with kitchen paper.
- Toss with half the North Indian spice, a drizzle of oil, ½ tsp salt (double for 4p) and pepper.
- Place a pan over high heat with a good glug of oil.
- Once hot, fry the tofu until slightly crispy, 6-8 mins. Shift frequently to ensure it doesn't burn. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.
3
- Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Fry the onion until softened, 3-4 mins. Season with salt and pepper.
- Blend the cashews and creme fraiche together.
- Add the remaining North Indian spice to the pan. Cook for 1 min then add tofu, cashew cream, passata, ½ tsp sugar (double for 4p) and a knob of butter. Cook for 5-7 mins.
TIP: No blender? No problem! Finely chop the cashews instead!
4
- Taste the curry and season with salt, pepper and sugar. Loosen with a splash of water if you feel it's too thick.
- Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
- Fluff up the pilau rice with a fork and serve alongside the creamy curry.
- Finish with a sprinkling of coriander.
