Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
-
In a medium pot, add 1 cup of water with barley and bring to a boil. Cook for approximately 30 minutes or until barley grains are soft*.
-
Season firm tofu cubes with salt and 2 tsp canola oil. Place on baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes then flip and cook for another 10 minutes for even baking.
-
In a small pot, on medium heat, heat 2 tsp canola oil, add onions, and cook for 2 minutes. Add ginger, garlic, garam masala, turmeric powder, and curry powder and cook for 2-3 minutes.
-
Add the tomatoes, soy milk, silken tofu, and psyllium husk to the pan. Allow to cook for 3-5 minutes.
-
Add the cubed, baked firm tofu** to the sauce and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
-
Garnish with fresh finely chopped cilantro, if desired and serve warm over the barley. Add salt to taste.
Note
- *Barely can be substituted with Barley Khichdi (1/2 serving of Barley Khichdi per 1 serving of Tofu Curry).
- Add 1⁄4 cup water to curry if the curry is too thick.
- **Tofu does not need to be baked if additional texture is not desired or to reduce time to make this recipe. Instead, you can skip Step 3 and add the cubed tofu directly into the sauce in Step 6.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for 1-2 days.
