Baby Potato Curry With Tofu and Mushrooms
While mushrooms are hard to find, when you do find them, they're worth making a delicious dish.
I love mushrooms because they're chewy. But more than that, I think mushrooms have a similar flavor to chicken. When I was little, my mom often cooked mushrooms to replace chicken flavor. That's why many vegan dishes use mushrooms.
Well, today a greengrocer passed by my house with a supply of mushrooms. I was happy to be able to buy these mushrooms for $0.30 for 150 grams. Very affordable.
So, today I decided to make curry. Plus, I had curry paste on hand, which cut down on my cooking time.
Well, I used large, non-spicy green chilies. This dish featuring large green chilies is also a trend where I live. So I added these green chilies!
I'm going to pair it with tofu and baby potatoes. It's super easy. Just chop them up, add the curry paste, and you're done!
THE INGREDIENTS
- 150 grams of mushrooms
- 200 grams of tofu
- 200 grams of baby potatoes
- 2 carrots
- (optional) 50 grams of mung bean sprouts
- 800 ml of water
curry flavor
- 3 tablespoons of curry paste
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 3 cloves of shallots
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
I chopped and sliced the ingredients for this dish. For the cartoon, I sliced them quite thickly. For the large green chilies, I simply halved them to prevent the seeds from spilling out.
Meanwhile, for the potatoes, I didn't cut them further into small pieces, as they were already small. I also didn't peel them. I simply scrubbed the potato skins with a coarse brush to make them clean and delicious to eat.
I sliced the mushrooms after washing them thoroughly. No parts were left untouched because they were like a treasure that shouldn't be wasted. They were so delicious!
Meanwhile, I diced the tofu. I was glad I got fresh tofu. Anyway, if you buy tofu that isn't fresh, it will taste sour and unpleasant. It will taste disgusting, so make sure the tofu you buy is from a store-bought.
Don't forget the shallots and garlic. Well, you can also skip these ingredients if you're using instant seasoning. But I decided to add more shallots and garlic to make the final result more fragrant and appetizing.
I started by heating a little vegetable oil. Then I added the sliced garlic and shallots. Sauté them briefly.
Once the sautéed shallots and garlic are fragrant, add the curry paste and sauté for another minute.
Add water to the sautéed curry paste. The amount of water can be adjusted to your taste. I used 800 ml of water. But you can also add up to 1 liter of water.
Add the potatoes and sliced carrots and cook for 5 minutes. Cover the pot so they cook thoroughly.
Then, after 5 minutes, add the remaining ingredients: mung bean sprouts, mushrooms, tofu, and chilies.
Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are cooked to your liking.
Now, serve today's dish and enjoy with rice or other dishes like flatbread. Interested in trying this curry dish?

Hello dear friend @anggreklestar, good morning.
This dish looks delicious! I love the mushrooms.
I loved the recipe and the ingredients you used.
The preparation of the dish invites you to sit at the table.
Enjoy it.
Have a great weekend.
This dish looks quite delicious. I have never cooked with tofu and I am about to experiment with it and I will try this one. I would like to see more dishes based with tofu.
BTW the rice cookie (or bread), gives an elegant touch to the presentation.
Best regards.

It's been a while I saw your Lovely cooking skills. This looks so delicious, even without tasting. I love how you combined mushrooms, tofu, and baby potatoes to get a desirable meal. This is such a nice one here my friend.
Looks delicious. I love mushrooms:)
Hmmm... that dish looks small but really so yummy! I like the selection of ingredients, healthy vegetables plus the mushrooms providing some proteins!
I always like the texture of a mushroom but I can only have them in a pizza. My family is not that familiar with mushrooms and they are too afraid to just buy them at the market. Coz of that I don't get much chance to eat eat then. Discovering that mushrooms is pretty much popular in most country lioe korea and japan, I can't help but get jealous. I also want to eat them moreeeee 😭🤤🤤✨. And this dish you made looks "masarap" or delicious. I would love a bowl of that. Even the presentation is so pretty. It made the dish more appetizing. 😍🤤
Mushrooms also great choice ❤️❤️❤️
In local market here, mushrooms also rare 😊
You're right, mushrooms are really delicious even here in the Philippines. Your mushroom recipe looks delicious, I think I'll try it sooner or later. thanks for sharing
I've never tried tofu. Someone once told me I wasn't rich. Maybe because he consumed tofu that was not fresh. But I loved your recipe, so I want to try it.
My friend who works with India Chief taught me how to prepare this meal but I didn't understand it very well with your procedure I will do better .
Thanks for sharing
This is true … mushroom is a very good option for vegan and it gives an amazing taste … your recipe looks delicious 🤤
I love potatoes. While I lived in Ireland (in a rural town), I ate different dishes based on this root vegetable. The variety of dishes that the Irish can make with potatoes is incredible (even if their seasoning isn't very good, haha).
Your dish looks very nice, @anggreklestari.
This looks absolutely delicious and one point I have taken note of is to scrub the potatoes instead of peeling them. I haven't had mushrooms before and I wish to give it a try soon.
Thanks for sharing.
Wow! This curry looks so delicious! 💖 Adding baby potatoes and mushrooms made it such a great combination of ingredients ✨ The recipe seems so straightforward, perfect for a weeknight dinner 🙌
