This is one of my favorite go to dishes for a cold wintry evening. It has every single flavor you crave when its cold. It is spicy, creamy and sweet at the same time! Besides, its so healthy.
We get protein from the tofu, vitamins A & C from the bell peppers, pineapple & multiple health benefits from bromelain which pineapples provide in abundance.
Not to forget the dietary fiber, digestive & anti-inflammatory benefits we get from adding other vegetables- onion, bamboo shoots & baby corn. What else can one ask for when you get such a tasty, nutritious meal along with a bowl of piping hot rice or Quinoa or noodles? Yum…I made it in the IP on sauté mode, but it can be made in the wok too.
This delicious butternut squash soup is a great base – try it with pasta or pearl barley thrown in

In that case, reduce the amount of Thai red curry paste slightly as the sweetness in the dish will only come from the pineapple then. |
