CHILLI TOFU RECIPE INDIAN STYLE (VEGAN) | SPICY SOYA PANEER RECIPE | Masaledaar Tofu

Spicy Tofu recipe Indian style - Best chilli soya paneer recipe
Chilli paneer is a very favorite Indo Chinese recipe. Today I will be making a vegan chilli paneer recipe using tofu and very little oil as opposed to the usual chilli paneer recipe where the paneer is deep fried in a lot of oil with a thick coating of batter. In this way it tastes even better and lighter.

Ingredients for making this Indian style tofu recipe -
* Firm Tofu - 14 0z / 397 gm . Submerge tofu in bowl of warm water with 1 teaspoon of salt added to it for about 15 minutes. Drain the water , wrap in paper towels to soak up excess moisture and cut into fairly large cubes. Always use a non stick pan to fry your tofu.
* Garlic - 4 to 5 cloves, chopped
* Onion - 5 oz/142 gm/ 1 medium, chopped
* Ginger - 2 teaspoons of grated ginger
* Green Chilies - 2 (add more or less according to your preference)
* Green bell pepper (capsicum) - 200 gm / 1 large , chopped into 3/4th inch squares
* Greens of 3 green onions or coriander leaves (cilantro)
* 1 teaspoon whole coriander seeds + 1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds , dry roast them and grind them. Or you can even use 1 teaspoon coriander powder + 1 teaspoon cumin powder
* For coating the tofu - 1 tablespoon flour , 1/4th teaspoon paprika/red chili powder/kashmiri red chili powder. Always add flour just before frying or else the flour becomes too gluey.
* For making the sauce -
* Tomato puree - 1/3rd cup
* Soy sauce - 1 & 1/2 tablespoons
* Sugar - 1 & 1/2 teaspoons /as per taste. Little bit of sweetness brightens up the flavor but you can definitely leave it out if you have any concerns.
* Salt - As per taste. I add salt layer by layer while cooking such recipes. I needed about 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
* Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon . You can even add Kashmiri red chili powder or 1/4th of a teaspoon of red chili powder or even chili sauce, whatever you like.
* Hot water - 1/2 cup and a few tablespoons if you find the sauce is getting dry. If you prepare it ahead of time then you can add few tablespoons of water while warming up before serving.
Serve this with hot steamed rice ,roti or noodles.

I was very pleasantly surprised by how well this turned out. Wouldn’t normally add sugar, but it seemed to work well - some alchemy which I’d been missing :) Great instructions.

[@samuel-g7q]

Making this tonight. Looks great! I like all your recipes, but I really like the non-restaurant style recipes. I used to think that all Indian recipes were very rich, but it's exciting to see the 'lighter' sauces and recipes! Quick question though: why add cumin twice? Once before the onion and once the already roasted powder?

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

The flavor changes when you dry roast spices and powder them. Whole cumin seeds have a different flavor so we add it whole as well as in powdered form in many recipes. Thanks for your feedback.

[@aaminamian2722]

Good afternoon, your video was easy to follow. I know you added just green bell pepper along with the Tofu. Can I also add mushrooms to this recipe? What would you advise me? Thanks and be safe & healthy.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Hi , yes definitely you can add mushrooms. I would suggest, before frying the green bell peppers, first add mushrooms to the hot oil , fry till all the water from the mushrooms dry out and they look well fried. Then add the green bell peppers in it and fry till the bell peppers are just little tender but still has little bit of crunch on them, sprinkle some salt. Thanks a lot for your lovely comment. Please do try the recipe and send me your feedback. You too stay safe and healthy 🙏🏽

So glad to hear that, and how about you ?? I really appreciate your feedback. Thanks a lot. Take care 🙏🏽

[@geetaasnani3057]

I tried it. It came out nice but tofu didn't get crisp. The flour you used to coat the tofu , is it corn flour, or maida or regular wheat atta? Thx for the recipe

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

I used maida. For this recipe the tofu is just lightly dusted with flour so it won’t get as crispy if you would have dipped it in a batter. Thanks for sending your feedback 🙏🏾

[@Entertainment_2631]

Hello mam..where can we get this tofu? Is it available in nearby dairy shops?

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Hi Shruti. Actually I live in the US but my parents who live in Kolkata say they get it from those supermarkets at malls.

[@Entertainment_2631]

@@CurriesWithBumbi alright thanks.

[@Arshjewellers]

Like a kadai paneer

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Well if take out the soy sauce then it will be more like a kadai paneer. You are right 👍. Thanks a lot for watching and leaving a comment. I really appreciate that. Stay tuned & take care 🙏🏽

[@OMAIMHREEM]

I am sure , there is better way to replace sugar in cooking. maybe coconut milk or wine

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Wine is never used in Indian cooking but you can definitely add coconut milk or just skip the sugar.

[@k.m.parekh4697]

could corn starch be added to make the sauce thicker?

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Yes sure you can use a cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce.

[@dharshinisukumar6047]

When we make tofu in home should we follow the salt water bath

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

By making tofu do you mean making it from scratch just like we make paneer from milk ? Please let me know. Bit confused about your question.
