  1. Heat oven to 200º Line a baking tray with baking paper. Seasons the tofu cubes with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then carefully arrange them on the tray and bake for 20 minutes.
  2. While the tofu is cooking, cook the basmati rice according to the instructions on the packaging. For extra flavour, replace rice with vegetable stock.

  4. Add the Thai green curry paste, coconut milk and around 5 tablespoons of water to the same frying pan. Cook on a simmer for 3-5 minutes, then add the tofu pieces. Cook for 1 -2 minutes, then take the pan off the heat.
  5. Serve the curry sauce over basmati rice with mangetout and peas. Season with fresh black pepper and chilli flakes if you desire. Garnish with pomegranate seeds, if using.
