Tofu and Vegetable Yellow Curry

I LOVE THAI FOOD. It is so good, from pad Thai, to the eggplant dish, not to mention the yellow curry- I could eat it all day every day. Last night was my last night at home before going back to school and instead of going out to dinner, I decided to make my own Thai food. It came out delicious if I do say so myself, and there are plenty of leftovers to reheat and enjoy again! (If you didn't know, the next best thing I love is leftovers).

The ingredients are so simple and healthy, and the prep and cook time in very minimal, making it a perfect dish to throw together. It's also a nice meal to make if you are having a big group of people over because it makes a lot, is easy to serve, AND is very filling.

Tofu and Vegetable Yellow Curry:
- Broccoli cut in bite size pieces
- Cauliflower cut in bite size pieces
- Carrots cut in bite size pieces
- Green beans cut in bite size pieces
- Yellow onion sliced NOT chopped
- Lentils (a GREAT source of grains, fiber, and protein. My nutritionist really suggests adding these whenever possible. That and quinoa) You'll be using the whole package for this meal
- Tofu cut in bite size pieces (Trader Joes has great tofu) If you don't like tofu you could always do chicken, or no meat
- Can of LIGHT coconut milk (the regular has a lot more fat) I got the light at Trader Joes
- Bottle of Yellow Curry, you will use the whole bottle too (I also got this at Trader Joes)
* Pineapple, this is the side I paired with it and it was very refreshing (Pineapples are also known to help if you feel bloated, just an FYI)
- Directions: Cut all the vegetables into bite size pieces. There is no measurement as to how much you should have, just as much as you want to eat! In a large pot (a soup pot) pour in the milk and curry, and then add the vegetables and tofu. Mix well so that the vegetables and tofu are covered in the sauce. Cook on HIGH for about 5 minutes (it will start boiling) and then reduce to a MEDIUM temperature- add the lentils. Stir. Cook on medium for another 10-15 minutes. You can eyeball it really. After that, keep on LOW until you want to serve it. Remember to keep stirring it through the process.

A serving size is about 1 cup (it's so filling) with pineapple on the side.

Delicious tofu!

Lentils - high in fiber and protein

De-Licious!

Cheers!
