Simple Vegetable Curry
Vegetable curry is always one of the daily dishes you can find at the Vegetarian stalls. In fact cooking this is very simple. This is a light and simple vegetable curry using only cabbage, long bean and tofu puff. If you like the veggie to be softer, cook it a bit longer till it is tender. If you prefer it to be more robust, you may want to use more oil to fry the curry paste till there is a layer of red chilli oil or also by using more coconut milk. If you prefer to add egg-plants and lady fingers, just add them in. If you want to have lovely coloured egg-plants or long bean, you can consider blanching them in oil and wash with water prior to adding to the curry after the curry is cooked.
