Curried Tofu Fried Rice: Quick Indian style curry tofu fried rice recipe with mixed vegetables. Super delicious and perfect for brunch too. Curried Tofu Fried Rice is a Perfect addition to Brunch Menu, Weeknights Meal or Packed lunches.
After a packed week of Diwali celebrations with friends and family, I’m so ready to spend this weekend in bed eating my ever so favorite ‘Curried Tofu Fried Rice’.
Now, we did go “ALL-OUT” with our Diwali feasts and parties, which meant lots and lots of food including both traditional to fusion Indian.Since the festival is a ‘Once a Year’ celebrations, I think it’s okay to simply enjoy your favorite food with people you love 🙂
But as we are getting back to the daily grind, so is our eating schedule (which was literally all over the place) and I wanted something light + healthy.
Enter Tofu (light n healthy) and yes, what’s better than an easy ‘Curry Fried Rice’ on a weekend.
Everyone at home loves it, so I always make a big batch for those second helpings.
Now, before you think ‘Curry and Thai’ together, this is an Indian Curry Fried Rice.
It’s infact extremely funny for us as we eat so much Thai Food that whenever I’m making ‘Curry’ at home, I literally have to specify ‘Indian Curry’ even in an Indian household 😉
So this weekend why don’t you try my Curried Tofu Fried Rice recipe and enjoy with loved ones.
It’s loved by kids too and I usually make this with leftover plain rice.
But you can most definitely make fresh rice and use the same for this quick tofu fried rice recipe.
