Insider Tips

  • Add cheese or yogurt to balance the heat of a spicier curry paste.
  • Add grains: toss 1/2 cup or so of cooked grains, such as quinoa or millet, into the tomato mixture. Add a splash of vegetable broth if the tomatoes thicken too much.
  • Can’t find curry paste? Use curry powder instead. Drop the amount down to 2 to 3 teaspoons. Look for a mild curry powder to help balance the flavor of the tomatoes.
