Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons Massaman curry paste
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 240 ml vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 large carrot, sliced
- 2 medium bell peppers, cut into strips
- 300 grams tofu, cubed
- 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions
Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot and cook for another 2 minutes, until fragrant.
Stir in the Massaman curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to release.
Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring well to mix the curry paste.
Add the soy sauce and brown sugar, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the cubed potatoes and sliced carrots to the pot. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Next, add the bell peppers and tofu cubes. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the tofu is heated through.
Stir in the lime juice and cook for another minute.
Serve the curry hot, topped with crushed peanuts and fresh cilantro. Accompany with steamed jasmine rice or naan on the side, if desired.
