This flavorful dish features hearty tofu—diced and baked with a coating of warming vadouvan curry powder—served over a vibrant mix of ginger, carrots, and sweet peppers simmered in tomato sauce and a touch of cream, plus a bed of brown rice to soak up all the saucy bites.

In a small pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 1 1/4 cups of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 23 to 25 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork.
Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel the carrots; halve lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers; remove the cores. Halve lengthwise, then thinly slice lengthwise. Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and hollow green tops. Peel the ginger; finely chop to get 2 teaspoons (you may have extra). Roughly chop the peanuts.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels (remove the tails if desired). Place in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and the curry powder. Stir to coat. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until opaque and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
In the pan of reserved fond, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced carrots in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the sliced peppers, sliced white bottoms of the scallions, and chopped ginger; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened.
To the pan, add the tomato sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter) and tomato achaar. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly combined. Add the cream. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined and slightly thickened. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the cooked rice topped with the curry and cooked shrimp. Garnish with the sliced green tops of the scallions and chopped peanuts. Enjoy!
