Tofu Korma

Yield: 4-6 Servings Difficulty: Average

Chef’s Notes: Usually korma is made with yogurt, but somehow I want to make it dairy-free. The only way to do that is to use coconut milk. I think this is much better because it adds more dimension to the taste and texture too, without added cholesterol.
