How to make Keto Masala Tofu-Keto tofu recipes

Marinating tofu with dry rub

1. Use Firm or extra firm tofu for this recipe. Drain the liquid from the tofu pack 

2. Place the tofu on a bunch of paper towels and press down on it to remove more liquid

3. Place the tofu in the freezer for 1 hr. 

   Freezing and thawing tofu creates a network of pores in the tofu that helps it crisp up better when fried and also makes it more absorbent.

4. Thaw the tofu and press out as much liquid as you can

5. Cut the tofu in 8 slices and subsequently into 16 pieces (by making a perpendicular cut, refer to video)

6. Make the dry masala mix (refer to the ingredients section)

    

7. Cover the tofu pieces with the masala mix (on both sides)

8. Spread the masala so it sticks well to the tofu. Set the tofu pieces aside to marinate and make the green chutney
