The original intention of this tofu vegetable curry was to offer you an easy and delicious vegan option for those days when you plan on going meatless. But I soon realized this tofu coconut curry is much more than just yummy food! Incorporating it in my diet for a while I noticed it helped keeping my weight on track while slightly lowering my blood pressure (which wasn’t that high in the first place but still, was a little over what I’m used to, since I’m no spring chicken anymore! lol).

I made this recipe on a weekly basis together with these healthy recipes and it had a great impact on my health, my figure and my overall well being:

• Italian egg drop soup
• Tomato chickpea pasta
• Yellow beans with garlic and dill
• Chicken chili with sweet potatoes and beans
• Lemon chicken orzo salad
• Lemon herb salmon with vegetable and couscous
• Roasted tomato basil soup

But even if you don’t have high blood pressure, you might benefit from trying a healthy diet and this delicious tofu coconut curry is super easy and quick to make! This simple coconut tofu is not only easy to make but nutritious and filling too although being so light you’re safe if you happen to overindulge! A great dinner idea for those crazy busy weeknights!

So if you’re planning on losing weight give this easy tofu curry a try rather than cutting foods out (like many diets do these days)!
