This is a family favorite Tofu and Peas scramble. Tofu and peas up the protein quotient, and this can be eaten on its own or served with some bread or naan to make a complete meal.
Serves: 2
Ingredients
1) half a packet of frozen peas ( I use Safeway)
2) half a packet of extra firm tofu ( I use O organics )
3) 2 medium tomatoes
4)1 medium onion
5) 2 tbsp olive oil/ghee
6) a pinch of turmeric powder
7) 1 tspn garam masala
8) 1/2 tspn paprika
9) some coriander/parsley leaves for garnish
10) salt per taste
Method
1) Grate the tofu and (time permitting) set aside on a paper towel to drain
2) Heat some olive oil in a skillet
3) Add in finely diced onion and brown
4) Now add in finely diced tomatoes and saute till tomatoes are cooked
5) Add in turmeric, garam masala and paprika.
6) Add frozen peas, half a cup of water, cover and cook for 5 minutes ( if you want to shorten this 5 minutes, microwave the frozen peas with a tbsp of water while the onion is browning, then this step should take only 2 mins)
6) Add the grated tofu and stir in.
7) Garnish with coriander/ parsley.
Serve hot!This is a spin on a common Indian street breakfast called Bhurji that can also be made with eggs( skip water while cooking) and paneer (a kind of ricotta commonly found in your local Indian store.)
