Instant Pot Tofu Curry Made with Muir Glen Diced Tomatoes (No Salt)

Curry is a much loved dish in many parts of the world. And if you are aware, then tomatoes are the quintessential ingredient for many popular Curries from India.

And this recipe is a beautiful vegan & gluten-free rendition of famous Matar Paneer.

Tomatoes not only offer that beautiful color to the curry but add deep intense flavors to it when cooked properly. 

The invention of canned tomatoes has simplified the lives of the curry makers. Like literally. When I was introduced to the Muir Glen tomatoes, I was blown away with the quality of the product.

Not only it is a high grade product, the philosophy of the company resonates with my philosophy of recycle, & eco-friendly. Since then I have not looked back.

I am a huge fan for one more reason – it is one of the very few companies that provide the consumer with a “No Salt” product option as well. Isn’t that amazing?

MUIR GLEN TOMATOES

Making curry is not a joke. It is hard work. Thanks to Muir Glen Organic Tomatoes, it has become convenient to make this recipe at home with less effort.

Muir Glen brings the best tomatoes to your kitchen. These are grown organically in the rich soils of California. 

The texture, and freshness of these lush tomatoes is well preserved in the packaging. As soon as you open the can, that fresh sweet tomato smell envelopes you immediately.

My reasons are very clear to recommend Muir Glen Diced Tomatoes (No salt) to make this Instant Pot Tofu Curry.

• Muir Glen brings the organic tomatoes to your cooking table.
• The company promotes the healthy eco-system of the valley by encouraging the pollinators of the region. Healthy active bees mean healthy bigger and juicier tomatoes. Great, isn’t it?
• Muir Glen is one of the few companies that believe in ZERO WASTE. They have state of the art Composting facility where they create organic compost. And this compost goes back to the farmers growing Organic Tomatoes.

My top reasons to make this Tofu Curry with Muir Glen Tomatoes in Instant Pot

For the reason that my family loves it so much, here are my top favorite reasons to make this in Instant Pot at home-

• You can make the curry sauce separately in the Instant Pot ahead of time and can use it as required.
• Yes, it is one of those make-ahead meals that are freezer friendly as well.
• Use of Muir Glen Diced Tomato (no salt) has made it possible to make this sauce effortlessly and efficiently in instant pot.
• This recipe is very adaptable. Find out how below.

How can I personalize this Vegan & Gluten-free Curry?

Since you can prepare this Vegan Gluten-free Curry sauce in advance, it can be personalized as suggested below.

• If you are not a fan of Tofu, then use vegetables of your choice. Potatoes, Broccoli, Baby Corn, Vegan Meatballs, or Mix Vegetables are a great choice.
• You may add vegan protein of your choice like Chickpeas, etc. if you are not in the mood for vegetables.
• The heat level of this Curry can be easily adapted as per your taste. Therefore I always advise starting from a tiny amount of spices first. Taste test it and build up the heat as desired by adding a little bit at a time. 
• Similarly, the creamy quotient of the curry can be controlled as well. 
• Most importantly if you are weight conscious then skip the nuts or use lesser amount. And use artificial sweetener as desired.
