  2. Make the Lemon Grass Curry Paste, by blending all the curry paste ingredients into a smooth paste adding very little water. Keep this aside.

  3. Next make the homemade tomato puree. Keep this aside. I most often make a batch of it and refrigerate it, so when I have to make recipes like this, it comes in handy. 

  4. Whisk the coconut milk, tomato puree, the lemon grass curry paste, salt, turmeric powder and curry powder until well combined. Check the salt and spice levels and adjust it to suit your taste. Add in the tofu cubes and keep this aside.

  6. Heat a teaspoon of oil in a large wok; add in all the vegetables together, sprinkle some salt and stir fry on high heat until the vegetables are lightly cooked and steamed. Once the vegetables are cooked, pour in the Lemon grass curry mixture along with the tofu and stir to combine.

  7. Turn the heat to medium high and bring the curry to a boil. After a minute of boiling, turn off the heat and transfer the curry to a serving bowl.
