Tofu Bhurji (Scrambled Tofu)


          Happy Women's Day to all my readers and thought to celebrate it, the healthy way, with some tofu burji. Tofu, now we are hearing a lot about it, it's health benefits, especially to women, and it's use in the place of dairy, in so many products ranging from cakes to ice creams. But, growing up, tofu was like Greek and Latin to me, I had tasted it for the first time, only after marriage, while staying in Singapore, even then I didn't cook it at home. Only later, after coming here, I saw the extra firm organic tofu, and started using it in noodles and fried rice and then tried to replace it in the place of paneer. One dish, which comes out very well is this tofu bhurji, to make up for the taste of paneer, I use cashew paste in milk, try this out..

Need To Have
  • Extra Firm Tofu - 1 cup, crumbled
  • Green Capsicum - 1
  • Red Capsicum - 1
  • Onion - 1
  • Tomato - 1
  • Ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
  • Garlic - 3 cloves, grated
  • Cashews - 1 tablespoon
  • Cardamom - 1
  • Milk - 1/4 cup
  • Red Chilli Powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Coriander Powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Garam Masala - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Kasuri Methi - 1 tablespoon
  • Sugar - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Cumin Seeds - 1 teaspoon



Method
          Slice the capsicums, chop the onion and tomatoes, grind the cashews and cardamom with some milk into a fine paste. Heat oil, add the cumin seeds, once it sizzles, add the onion, garlic and ginger, saute for a few mins, then add the tomatoes, keep sauteing for few more mins. Once the tomatoes starts to wilt, add the chilli and coriander powders, mix well, then add the capsicums. Keep cooking till the capsicums are done, add the tofu, cashew paste, sugar and milk, cook for a couple more mins, finally add the garam masala and kasuri methi, mix everything well and serve it with some rotis or naans.

Note
Don't overcook the capsicums, use chilli powder as per your taste.
If you want this vegan, just grind the cashews with water, but milk or cream will definitely make it more richer.
