Curried Tofu with Vegetables

I've been under the weather for the past few days and although the aches and chills have subsided,the two most important senses for a Food Blogger i.e taste and smell seems to have eluded me, completely!!To test how bad it is I tried eating green chillies, not one but two and I could eat it almost like a salad without even a hint of heat!!Can you imagine?I'm going nuts!!I'm generally quite strong to withstand the seasonal colds even if my whole family is sick.But this time, I was sucked in,due to this weird cycle of unpredictable weather pattern affecting the East Coast.Hot one day, cool the next, sunny one day, rainy the next!Well, my dish today will definitely make you feel great even if the weather doesn't!

I've made this using the things I had on hand.Its an easy and quick recipe, perfect for busy weeknights!I had some Tofu and coconut milk that I had to use.Threw in some veggies for color and flavor, some curry powder for spice, some Sriracha (you could use any other hot chilli sauce) for heat and you have one delicious Tofu dish that's healthy and flavorful!!Even my 4 yr old loved it and wanted seconds!
