Cooking has the power to make me travel this is why I came up with the idea of a Red Curry Tofu Soup like they do in the south of India. It's a simple recipe but with so most flavors, a good taste of spices and above all ... fast!
I put my favorite spices in the curry, but you can use less if you don’t like spicy food.
The final result is creamy, slightly spicy ... in short, it makes you travel to Indian!
