Method

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the cubed tofu and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.

  2. In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent.

  3. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. Add the massaman curry paste to the pan, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and release their aromas.

  5. Pour in the full-fat coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring well to dissolve the curry paste.

  6. Add the cubed potatoes and sliced carrots to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until the vegetables are fork-tender.

  7. Stir in the tamari, coconut sugar, and lime juice. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

  8. Add the cooked tofu and baby spinach to the curry. Stir gently and cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the tofu is heated through.

  9. Serve warm, garnished with chopped peanuts, alongside steamed jasmine or brown rice.
