Directions

2. Add the Thai curry paste and tofu and fry for 1 minute to release the flavours.

3. While frying off the curry paste, place the baby spinach into a blender and add the vegetable stock. Blend into a puree and pour into the curry together with the coconut milk.

4. Bring the curry to a gentle simmer and add the broccoli, mangetout, mung bean sprouts and sweet potato. Cook gently until vegetables are just cooked.

5. Season the curry with soy sauce, brown sugar and a squeeze of lime.

6. Serve the curry with steamed jasmine rice and garnish with pomegranate seeds, chopped toasted peanuts and fresh coriander.
