Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Split chile pepper into 4 sections lengthwise, keeping it joined at the stem; set aside.

Step 2

Heat oil in heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add ginger, turmeric, and chili powder; cook for 30 seconds. Add onion and chile pepper; cook until onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add mushrooms, baby corn, zucchini, and bell pepper; cook and stir until all veggies are coated with turmeric mixture, 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in coconut milk, basil, and salt; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook until vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Turn off heat.

Step 4

Coat a separate pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add tofu and pan-fry both sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the curry mixture and bring to a boil; turn off heat and serve.
