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!

Boiling tofu in saltwater is a cool hack. I added green peas and topped with cashews.

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!

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!!

"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.

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 😋

@RainbowPlantLife

Жыл бұрын

Oh my, that’s a really important disclaimer 😅 Hope you’ll love this curry!

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!

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!

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.

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 😄

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.

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!

I didn't expect that freezing, unfreezing, pressing and boiling the tofu in salty water would have made so much of a difference, but I was very pleasantly surprised. This recipe is so delicious! Thank you 😊

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!

This is the cutest series! It's really fun to see how comfortable you've become and so funny on camera

I love watching your videos. They are engaging and so helpful. I love your sense of humor and how down to earth you are. The cooking tips and tools are invaluable. I’m a new vegan of 6 months , and your channel has afforded me ways to eat delicious and healthy food that I share with others. I feel that I’ve become a decent cook as I explore so many spices and foods that I didn’t know existed. Your videos are easy to follow! Thank you so much!

Love that we as viewers get to see others make and taste your recipes. Everything you made looks insanely fresh and delicious.

Such an adorable video! The cuties at the end were priceless. I found myself smiling from ear to ear while watching them! I can't wait to try this recipe! I have made loads of your recipes and I have yet to find one that I haven't enjoyed. Your red lentil almond curry and West African Peanut stew are two of my absolute favorites. They are great to serve to non-vegan family and friends. Thank you for all you do Nisha.

I was just thinking of starting to cook with tofu again after a long absence. This looks so delicious and showed up at the perfect time. Can't wait to try it. Love this new interactive component with your subscribers, too. Truly inspired. Thank you, Nisha!

Nisha, i just adore your sense of humor. Thank you for sharing such wonderful recipes with us!

Love this new format! Getting the taste testers involved is a great idea!

I just made this and it was a serious hit! The only thing I tweaked was adding the tomato sauce (rather than the coconut milk) to deglaze the pan as I've always been taught one should cook off the tomato for a bit (until oil oozes out at the side of the pan) so as to avoid the raw tomato taste. It was awesome...so thank you...for making my vegan conversion all the easier!

I loved this video and can't wait to make the recipe. But I have to say, saving the little's for last they are so darn adorable!! Beautiful kids, that help in the kitchen. I love it! Their smiles are contagious.

I always find your videos amusing, and this one cracked me up several times. How great are these user submissions?! Omg. Cannot wait to try this recipe. And thanks for sharing new techniques! I recently learned about the frozen ginger trick (haven't tried that one yet); can confirm the salted boiling method really does help make tofu tastier.

Love and respect from a German vegetarian 💖🙏 This curry with collieflower is absolutely DELICIOUS 😋

Ive made this 5+ times since finding it. Ive made it vegan but also with chicken, frying it in the aromatics at the start. Adding “ready” lentils is also delicious

Oh my God, what a great and inspiring video! I love your audience-participation segments, and your food, as always, looks amazing. I will for sure make this recipe for my family! Way to go, Nisha, killing it!

Looks delicious, but I have to say that, as an admittedly lazy person, it’s not a weeknight recipe for me - a lot of steps plus a lot of cleanup, including three different pots. For those of us without a dishwasher, that’s a bit much to face on a Tuesday. But as a Sunday afternoon recipe, I might try it!
