Here im coming with a yummy and healthy recipe. Though tofu is easily available in brunei, I rarely buy this. I prefer to use paneer more. Now for a change, i cooked tofu curry. Tofu is vegan, rich in protein and low in calories. Try this delicious curry and serve as a accompaniment with roti or plain rice.

INGREDIENTS:

1½ cup extra-firm tofu (cut into 1 inch cube)

2 onion sliced (medium sized)

2 tomato chopped (medium sized)

3 garlic cloves

1 inch ginger

7 to 8 cashew nuts

3 green chilies

½ tablespoon cumin powder

½ tablespoon coriander powder

½ teaspoon red chilly powder

½ teaspoon garam masala

½ teaspoon turmeric powder

Few curry leaves

Few coriander leaves chopped

1 bay leaf

2 clove

Small piece cinnamon

1 Cardamom

Salt to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

Dry roast the tofu until they are brown and crispy on all sides. Keep aside.

In a pan, add ½ tablespoon of oil and saute onion and tomato for few minutes or until they turn translucent and mash well. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Once they are cooled down, transfer to blender and along with that, add garlic, ginger, cashew nuts, green chilly, red chilly powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder & salt and blend well to smooth paste. Add little water while grinding. Keep the paste aside.

In the same pan, add 2 tablespoons of oil. When heated, add bay leaf, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and curry leaves. Saute for a min.

Then add in the ground paste. Saute and cook in low flame till they are cooked well and raw smell goes off. Add water to adjust the consistency.

Then add in the roasted tofu and close the pan with lid. Cook for few min and remove from heat.

Garnish with coriander leaves.

Serve hot & enjoy!!
