This is one of our favourite vegetarian meals to make on a chilly winter night. Keep in mind that it's important to get the tofu as dry as possible so that it gets a nice sear in the pan; try not to skip the draining step. We love the combination of coconut milk, curry paste, ginger, and garlic, which flavours the tomatoes, cauliflower, carrots, and yes, apples, for an additional touch of sweetness that really complements the brown sugar. It all comes together in one skillet for the easiest cleanup ever. To make this a more substantial meal, you can spoon each serving of the curry over 1/2 cup of cooked rice noodles or brown rice.
