Coconut Tofu Curry



I made some coconut tofu curry, using a coconut from my parent's back yard in Grand Cayman, husked it myself, and brought it all the way back to Kirksville, MO to use. Unfortunately, i waited a little to long to use it, so I didn't get as much coconut milk out of it when I tried to juice it. Thus, I ended up throwing in all the shredded coconut into the curry mixture. Needless to say, the recipe was very unhappy with this, as the juiced coconut bits dried up all the liquid in what would have otherwise been a delicious curry recipe. I will hope to one day remake this recipe, and do it properly (using canned coconut milk, or a coconut that has enough milk in the meat).
