Instructions
Marinate the Tofu with the olive oil, some garlic, curry powder, salt and pepper for an hour.
Start by placing the garlic, chilli, onion and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until the onions begin to brown.
Add in the Tofu and cook thoroughly, for about 5 minutes.
Next add the peppers, aubergine and sundried tomatoes.
Next, make the korma sauce: place the onions, garlic, chillies and a little water in a blender and blitz to a creamy texture.
Measure out the spices (curry powder, through cumin) into a small bowl.
In a large saucepan heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Next, add the korma sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the ginger, coconut cream, yoghurt, pre-measured spices, lemon rind and honey and mix together.
Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 30-40 minutes, mixing regularly, until the sauce has reduced.
