Tofu Curry, my go-to weeknight dinner

We had a lot of fun making this video! Big thank you to our taste testers 🤗

I’m a 68 yr old grandma of Indian origin. I live in Canada. I became a vegan couple of yrs having been a vegetarian before. I just made this today. My hid it’s amazing. God bless you dear. Thank you

“I wonder if this is good.” Nisha: Start with six cloves of garlic. Me: I’m sold.

I love your new format! I love the growth! I love to see you veganize heritage meals. We are all looking for healthy ways to keep food traditions alive. The little girls at the end, ADORABLE!

I almost never comment on videos, but I’ve commented on the last couple of yours. I love this idea of talking to your subscribers, your audience, that’s a really cool idea and nobody else that I follow is doing that. This recipe looks delicious, and I too need quick and easy recipes for the weekdays. I can’t wait to try this.

I wish I'd filmed my parents' reaction! My dad couldn't stop talking about the tofu and said it was the best tofu he'd ever had. My mom asked for the recipe and was interested in tracking down curry leaves when she got back to Ohio. They're generally not adventurous eaters, so I considered this a massive success!

My Dad is dealing with cancer and is possibly pre-diabetic. Your recipe includes so many foods like cauliflower and spinach that are great for cancer recovery, yet is flavourful. I know that curries taste better the next day, so I love that I can make this at home and take it to my parents' home the next day and provide leftovers. Thank you!

Tip for anyone who sees this: I've seen suggestions from elsewhere when working with tofu, the best way to get all the liquid out before cutting it is to press it for 30min. You can either buy a tofu press for $20-$30 or just use two cutting boards and place a heavy object on top (I use a big bowl/pot of water). That will extra extra help the tofu absorb all the flavor. Tofu is a blank, tasteless slate of pure plant protein, and getting flavor into it is of the utmost importance to make it taste good and not scare away any potential tofu-first-timers!

To nisha and the testers: I made this tonight and it- is- epic!!! Here’s a few changes because it’s what I had and worked great: used frozen cauliflower, frozen jalapeños, and pressed the tofu only- just didn’t have a burner easily available with the rice being cooked— 70 minutes start of collecting everything to sitting down to eat// fantastic!! Thanks!!

"If you're not coughing, you're not doing it right." OMG, yes! Nisha, we adore your recipes and are making this on Wednesday night. Thank you for being such a blessing to us. We love Indian food, and we adore that you have transformed all of my favorite recipes to vegan! HUGS FROM TEXAS. I will tag you on IG after making this.

My heart is happy that those parents are teaching their kids about food and cooking at this young age. It’s just such an important life skill and true love and appreciation for food really adds a lot to ones journey whilst here on earth. Yes. That’s how reverent I am about food.

I still love seeing subscribers give there takes on the dish, makes it feel like the dish is truly tasty. Definitely plan to make this later

My wife cooked your lentil curry before, and it was probably the best thing I've ever eaten in my entire life! If this tastes anything like that, I know it'll be a hit. Side note, that homemade Naan bread was amazing! Can't wait to try this!

This is so fun! I love this format Nisha. Please do this again! It makes me feel like I can learn new techniques and try new ingredients too 😄

Love the taste testers - you always talk about "baby mouth" and this time you had an actual baby taste tester so precious and loved seeing how much it meant to you. Thanks for all your amazing recipes!

Cooked the curry for my family today. It tasted just sooo good and was really filling! Kinda similar to your red lentil curry which is already incorporated in our standard family dinner recipes. I live in Germany and all my german friends, even those who don‘t usually like indian food, love the lentil curry. Thank you so much! I love your videos! Keep up the good work!

Also, can I just say how far you've come Nisha?? I started watching your channel when we got our instant pot AGES ago and look at you, almost 900k subscribers 😀 WOW! So lovely to see, so great, congrats 👏🏼

As a vet, your “previously frozen defrosted tofu” addition reminds me a LOT of my “boiled COOLED water” disclaimer when I tell owners what to clean their pet’s eye area with 😅😂 Edited to add: this looks amazing and I’m cooking this ASAP 😋

OK, your channel has blossomed into something I can’t stop watching! I love the personalization, speaking about the nutmeg from your families tree in India! I love you speaking openly about your fear of keeping chili oil on your hands! Really terrific video and I can’t wait to make this recipe. I’m excited to see what you do next!

I love that the kids are open to eating the food their parents give them. Love that for you, Nisha! Your recipes are so good.
