Massaman Curry

Chopped carrot, onion, tomato
1/2 tsp. red chili paste
1 tsp. curry powder
3 tbsp water
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp sugar
1 handful vegetables, like steamed sweet potato or pumpkin
1 tbsp tofu
1 tsp lime juice

Fry the carrot, onion, tomato, chili paste, and curry powder in a wok.  Add a little water to stop it from burning if necessary.  Add water and most of the coconut milk, cook until thick.  Add the soy sauce, sugar, vegetables, and tofu, mix well.  Add the rest of the coconut milk and lime juice.

For Penang curry, replace the curry powder with cumin powder.
