Experiment with a variety of fresh vegetables in this vegetarian Madras curry. You can stir in spinach or Swiss chard during the last 30 minutes of cooking, if you like.

With all the reviews about the slow cooker turning this into mush, I decided to try using a pressure cooker. I threw everything in (including the tofu) and cooked at high pressure 4 minutes, using quick release when it was done. The flavors really popped and it was so easy and fast. I left out the cauliflower and subbed with more sweet potato. Ate over brown rice.

This was a really disappointing recipe. I followed the recipe and it just came out really bland.

I used the amounts in the recipe and the whole thing was tasteless. So then I added twice the curry and a bunch of red pepper but it was just tasteless gunk.

I added a pinch of hot pepper flakes for heat and roasted the cauliflower instead. I didn't need to pan fry the tofu, I just threw it into the stoneware after I drained it. I also cooked my own chickpeas (1/2 lb) because I think it would have gotten too mushy if it sat overnight in the crockpot.
