Tofu Masala

Raise your hand if you like Tofu...:) I am sure there's not many out there who can stand the taste and texture of tofu. Definitely not many from the mens' department. I love my tofu...however, I am now banned from taking any soy products. I do miss my tofu...This will probably be my last post on tofu. Hubby sure seems happy about that. Getting back to the dish, dealt right, tofu is like a sponge which absorbs flavors well, and in this dish, it does taste similar to paneer.

Ingredients:

Extra firm Tofu - 1 block

Onions - 2

Tomatoes - 3

Green chilis - 4

Spinach - 1 cup

Milk - 1/2 cup

Red chili powder - 1 tbsp

Salt - to taste

Oil - 2 tbsp

Cumin powder - 1 tbsp

Garam masala powder - 1 tbsp

Ginger garlic paste - 1 tbsp 

Cut the tofu into cubes and marinate with some red chili powder, salt, ginger garlic paste, garam masala and lime juice.

In a pan, spread 1 tbsp oil and arrange the tofu in a single layer. Turn and cook on all side till crisp. Remove and set aside.

In the same pan, add another tbsp oil, and saute chopped onions and green chilis. When the onions start to brown, add the ginger garlic paste and all the other masalas. Add the tomatoes and chopped spinach and cook till the tomatoes are soft.

Add the milk, and another 1/2 cup water. Add the tofu and mix well.

Cook for another 5 to 10 minutes.

Garnish with cilantro and serve with rotis.
