Ingredients
  • 14 oz Firm Tofu (396g)
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1/2 tsp chaat masala (optional)
    • Dry Masala Mix
  • 1/2 tsp cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp corainder powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala powder
  • 1 tsp kashmiri red chilli powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
    • Green chutney

  • 1/2 cup mint leaves
  • 1 clove garlic (large)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

Instructions
    Marinating tofu with dry rub
  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  3. 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. 4

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

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

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

     

  7. 7

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

  8. 8

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

    9. Making Mint Coriander Chutney
  9. 9

    In a grinder jar add mint leaves, coriander leaves, 1 large garlic clove, green chillies to taste, some lime juice and salt to taste

  10. 10

    Add some ice to the jar. (Adding ice to the blender jar helps the chutney maintain a vibrant green color.

  11. 11

    Add 1/4 cup of water and blend well

  12. 12

    Pour it out in a bowl

    13. Pan Frying Tofu
  13. 13

    Use a non stick pan for this recipe. Brush some oil (any neutral cooking oil) on the pan

  14. 14

    Heat the pan to a medium/high heat. Place the tofu pieces and cook till both sides turn golden brown

  15. 15

    You can drizzle some oil on the tofu before flipping it

  16. 16

    It should take approximately 5 min per side

  17. 17

    Sprinkle some chaat masala (optional)

  18. 18

    Dip the tofu in the green chutney and enjoy!
