Servings: 2

Ingredients

Firm tofu
14 oz, drained and pressed
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Onion
1 medium, finely chopped
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Ginger
1-inch piece, grated
Ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon
Ground cumin
1 teaspoon
Ground coriander
1 teaspoon
Tomato
1 medium, diced
Green peas
1/2 cup, fresh or frozen
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Fresh coriander
for garnish, chopped

Instructions

  1. Begin by draining and pressing the tofu to remove excess water—this will help the tofu absorb the flavors better.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Next, add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Crumble the pressed tofu directly into the pan, breaking it up into smaller pieces. Stir in the ground turmeric, cumin, and coriander, mixing well to ensure the tofu is evenly coated with the spices.
  5. Add the diced tomato and green peas to the mixture, cooking for another 3-5 minutes until the peas are tender and everything is heated through.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors as needed.
  7. Finally, remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped coriander before serving.
