Tofu Bhurji Recipe | Soya Paneer (Tofu) Recipes

'Soya Paneer' also known as 'Tofu' is a healthy alternative for paneer though the taste of tofu would not match the taste of paneer exactly.As Tofu has less calories I usually buy it often and use it in various recipes like Tofu-Alu Paratha, Chili Tofu, Grilled Marinated Tofu ,Tofu Bhurji, Cutlets(Tikkis), Kebabs etc.Tofu is basically bland in taste and hence it can absorb the flavors beautifully.Today I am sharing a simple Bhurji recipe with tofu,I have prepared it in a similar fashion like how I prepare Paneer Bhurji,just that you need to pep it more with extra seasonings and spices to make it more tasty.

Check out few Tofu recipes in my blog.

Tofu Bhurji Recipe:

(Serves 2)

Ingredients:

1 cup crumbled/grated Soya Paneer / Tofu - hard variety

1 medium Onion,finely chopped

2-3 Green chillies,finely chopped
1 Tomato,finely chopped

1 small Capsicum, chopped

1 tsp Ginger Garlic paste

1/2 tsp Red chilli powder

1/3 tsp Garam masala

1 tsp Pav Bhaji masala

1/4 tsp Turmeric powder

juice of 1/2 lemon

2 tbsp Chopped Coriander

Salt to taste

1 tbsp Oil

2 tbsp Butter

Method:

• Heat oil in a kadai/pan and add finely chopped onions and green chillies and fry until the onions turn pink.
• Add ginger-garlic paste and fry well.
• Now add finely chopped capsicum and fry for a minute and then add chopped tomatoes and saute until it becomes slightly mushy.
• Now add garam masala,pav bhaji masala,red chilli powder and turmeric powder and fry for a minute.
• Add crumbled tofu and salt and give a good mix and saute for a couple of minutes.The mixture should be moist and not dry,add a tbsp of water if required and cook for a minute.
• Add the butter at the end and mix it properly.
• Switch off the flame and add lemon juice,chopped coriander and mix it.

Serve it hot with toasted bread/pav and also with some sliced onions and lemon wedges.

Notes:

1. Tofu comes in a sealed pack in India. I usually wrap it in a kitchen towel for some time to remove the excess water from it.
2. It can be placed in a chapati and make it into a roll and serve for kids.
3. This can be used as a filling for parathas,Samosa,Bread rolls.
4. You can add colored bell peppers along with capsicum in the recipe.
5. Instead of Pav bhaji masala you can even add Kitchen king masala in the recipe.I suggest you add this for sure as the tofu is bland it really needs some masala to pep up.
6. Replace tofu with paneer and follow the same proceed to make paneer bhurji.

You can stuff the tofu bhurji in between two toasted bread sliced to make a healthy Tofu Sandwich.
