Thai Green Curry with Potatoes, Mushrooms and Choi
The purple potatoes really brighten up this green curry, but feel free to use yellow if you prefer. Adding the tofu makes a tasty side into a delicious main course perfect for a hectic weekday evening. Serves 4.
2 TB sunflower oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
6 oz oyster or shiitake mushrooms
2 TB Thai green curry paste
1 can coconut milk
2 TB fish sauce

1/4 tsp salt
1 lb potatoes, unpeeled, scrubbed and cut into 1/4 slices
12 oz firm tofu, halved lengthwise, then cut into 1/2 strips (optional)
2 small heads (or 1 large) pac choi, roughly chopped (feel free to mix in some tatsoi)
