Tofu and Tomato Curry

Tomato curry is a dish that my mother makes a lot with traditional Sri Lankan “hoppers” (rice flour and coconut milk pancakes). It can also be made into more of a main dish for vegetarians with the addition of tofu, and can be served over rice, couscous or quinoa. Tofu doesn't have a strong flavor on its own and takes on the flavors of the curry very nicely. This curry is a great mild introduction to curry flavors for little ones. Many of the spices, like turmeric have wonderful health benefits, too. Exposing kids to foods from different cuisines is a great way to widen their palates and expose them to ingredients with positive effects on health. See our post on Food Passports to encourage kids to eat foods from different parts of the world. We recently served this to a group of Elementary Students at an International Food Tasting.
