Tofu Thai Panang Curry with Mixed Vegetables

I made this gorgeous vegan recipe for my friend, tofu Thai Panang curry, and she absolutely loved it! I paired it with tofu, mixed peppers and mangetout, it created such a lovely curry with different types of textures. This recipe is very easy to recreate and takes no time at all, definitely a crowd-pleaser even if you are a meat-eater!

The Thai Panang paste itself doesn't have too much spice to it, but the chilli flavour remains - which makes the Panang so unique. It provides a sweeter and milder Thai curry out of our other selection of pastes. The paste having sweeter undertones is purely why I like to pair it with mixed peppers (especially the red ones) as they also have a sweet flavour to them, it compliments each other so well! If you are a big fan of sweet curry, try this recipe using red curry paste, equally delicious, trust me!
