In our vegetarian version of Jamaican chicken curry, we turn to pantry basics to mirror the flavors of the classic dish: curry powder, along with allspice or thyme, two ubiquitous seasonings in Jamaican cooking. For the best-tasting curry, include them both if you have them in the cupboard. Coconut milk creates a silky sauce that brings richness to the mild-tasting tofu; be sure to use regular coconut milk, not the light version. For a more substantial curry, add 2 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced, or 8 ounces green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces—or a little of both—along with the onion.

Solid Tofu Main
The recipe feels too simple to be true, but it really did do the trick! It's flavorful with a controllable amount of heat, and is very satisfying. I love curry, and I love tofu, so this was a winner.

Great curry
Spicing was just right and t5he lime juice makes it. Excellent served over a bed of arugula.

Very good
This was very tasty…not spectacular, but very good. I made it exactly according to the recipe. I think next time I’ll try adding only 1/2 cup of water and an extra 1/2 cup of coconut milk because it took longer than indicated for the sauce to thicken.

Proportions
Loved the curry, but needed to just about double the curry paste portion to get the intensity I prefer.
