Southwestern Tofu Scramble

I am pretty excited writing my first post here and thought it would be fitting if I write about my new found Love-Tofu!!

Fresh tofu is available everyday at the farmers market here and I just can't pass that shop without getting a block of tofu and now this has a special place in my heart..errr..palette.

This recipe is adapted from Vegetarian times . It may be similar to the tofu bhurji I prepare often but with a few changes.



I used:

Tofu-1 block,drained and crumbled
Capsicum-1/2 ,chopped
Carrot-1 small,grated
Onion-1/2,chopped
Tomato-1,small,chopped
Garlic-2 cloves,grated
Cumin powder- 1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder -1/4 teaspoon
Chilli sauce-1/2 a teaspoon
Cumin-1/2 a teaspoon
Salt to taste
Oil-1 teaspoon

1. In a bowl put in crumbled tofu, chilli sauce, cumin powder,turmeric powder,salt and mix well. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.
2. Heat oil in a pan and put in cumin seeds.
3. When it splutters put in onion and garlic and sauté till transparent.
4. Next in goes the tomato and cook till soft.
5. Add the tofu mixture and mix well.
6. Stir for a couple of minutes and remove from heat.


This can be served as a side dish with rice / chapathi and can also be used as a sandwich filling.

Bon Appetit...
