3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled and minced
2 onions, halved and sliced
1/2 head cauliflower, cut into florets
3 carrots, peeled and sliced
3 tablespoons vindaloo curry powder
6 tablespoons tomato paste
1 (15 ounce) can coconut milk
1 cup vegetable broth
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
1 pound extra-firm tofu, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
salt to taste
Wonderful. Didn't have vindaloo curry powder so I added 1 T curry powder, 2 tsp. cumin, 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes, 1 tsp tumeric and coriander. Very tasty and will serve 8 easily!
I doubled the amount of curry powder (standard for any Indian cooking) and it was still too bland. Might have been better with a sliced orange pepper or nuts, as others have suggested. Or maybe some (a lot) of garlic. Definitely needs salt. Will not make again without major revisions.

I love Indian food and this was so simple to do at home love the recipe, but my trick when cooking with tofu is to use a tofu press or pressure to get the moisture out first and it has way more flavor... I love it
Very good! I added a chopped Portuguese hot cherry pepper for heat, as my vindaloo curry powder is more aromatic than spicy, a couple cloves of garlic, some cilantro and I omitted the mushrooms. Very tasty and filling!
This was very easy to make. I used regular curry powder and I didn't have ginger root so I used ginger powder. I also didnt have veg. broth so I used chicken broth. Instead of tomato paste I used tomato sauce because it was all I had. I omitted the mushrooms. My husband loved it because we are normally meat eaters but are trying to eat healthier and this was perfect !! It was very filling and I cant wait to share the recipe with the rest of my family!!
I used a head of cauliflower, entire can of tomato paste along with regular curry powder (more than recommended), added some ginger powder and cashews. Easy and flavorful.
Great meal! I made it as directed, except that I used chicken broth in place of the vegetable broth. The recipe was easy and delicious, and spicy. The curry powder can be garam masala or regular curry powder. Definitely add some salt.
Oh my gosh! This was so good. I never thought that I could make something that tasted like this. Very easy too.
