golden tofu meatball curry

A comforting and hearty vegan dish featuring sturdy, savory tofu meatballs simmered in a rich, fragrant coconut curry sauce. Inspired by Jacob King's 'Golden Meatball Curry', this version incorporates lemongrass to boost the aromatic profile and suggests careful seasoning to balance the flavors. The dish combines the creaminess of coconut milk with the warmth of curry spices, finished with fresh dill and chili oil for a vibrant kick.
