Method
Cook step by step
- Heat half the oil in a broad pan and brown the tofu lightly on two or three sides. Transfer it to a plate; deep browning is not required.
- Add the remaining oil and cumin to the pan. Cook the onion until golden at the edges, then add ginger and garlic.
- Stir in tomato, turmeric, coriander powder, chilli powder and salt. Cook until the tomato reduces and the mixture looks cohesive.
- Add water and simmer for 5 minutes. Return the tofu to the pan and simmer gently for another 4–5 minutes.
- Finish with garam masala and coriander. Rest for 2 minutes before serving so the tofu remains intact.
Practical tips
Keep the recipe working for you.
- A gentle final simmer is enough; prolonged vigorous boiling can make the cubes rough at the edges.
- Add cooked peas or spinach after the gravy has reduced for an easy variation.
