Notes
Tofu: :I lightly pressed the tofu before using and just cut it into cubes to add to the curry. If you like, you can bake or slightly fry it before using. Air frying tofu is another great option too.
Vegetables: You can add any vegetables that you have handy in this recipe. Besides the one's I used, other choices are baby corn, beans, eggplant, mushroom.
Like veggies crunchy? If you like your veggies crunchy, then skip the pressure cooking and just cook on saute mode for 5-7 minutes.
