Method
Rinse the rice, then cook in a rice cooker or saucepan according to the packet instructions and keep warm.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan and fry the sliced onion for 6 minutes until softened and golden.
Add the tofu cubes and fry for 5 minutes, turning gently, until lightly golden on all sides.
Add the carrot and potato and fry for 2 minutes.
Pour in the water, bring to the boil, skim off any scum, then simmer for 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Remove from the heat, break the vegan curry roux into pieces and stir in until fully dissolved, then simmer for 8 minutes, stirring often, until thickened.
Divide the rice between plates and ladle over the curry.
