Method

Heat the sunflower oil in a large heavy-based pan (one with a lid) over a medium heat. Add the tofu and fry until lightly golden on all sides. Add the red Thai curry paste and lemongrass sticks, then stir until the tofu is coated.
Add the cauliflower florets (discard the woody outer green leaves but reserve the inner few layers of leaves), the mango pulp and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer, cover with the lid and cook for 5-10 minutes.
Remove the lid, then add the reserved cauliflower leaves and frozen peas. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until just tender, adding a splash of boiling water to loosen, if you like. Serve drizzled with coconut yogurt and a large handful of fresh coriander leaves.
