This tofu recipe is extremely easy to put together. Just mix the ingredients and fry them and in less than 10 minutes you have this extremely delicious tofu that you can serve as an appetizer or snacks or as a side with the main meal.
Ingredients Required For Making Fried Masala Tofu - serves 5 to 6
* 1 lb/454 gm firm/extra firm tofu. Can also use paneer instead of tofu but in that case skip the step of wrapping in paper towels and putting a weight on top, just go straight to applying the masala paste.
* 1 heaped tablespoon plain unflavored yogurt
* 2 teaspoons any curry powder. Home made Curry Powder - • HOW TO MAKE CURRY POWD...
* 1 teaspoon kashmiri red chilli powder(adjust proportion according to your preference). Please note that store bought curry powder already has added chilli powder so please leave out kashmiri chilli powder in that case.
* 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
* 1/4 th teaspoon garam masala powder.
Home made Garam Masala - • 3 MUST HAVE HOMEMADE I...
* little less than a teaspoon of salt or to taste
* 1/4 th/1/2 teaspoon sugar/honey/maple syrup (optional)
* 1 & 1/2 teaspoons blanched almond flour/gram flour(besan)/cornstarch(cornflour)
* 1 teaspoon oil for mixing with tofu + 1 tablespoon for frying
* chopped coriander leaves for garnish along with few drops of lemon juice(optional)
**Points to note -
* Please use a non stick pan for this recipe
* Always use firm/extra firm tofu for this recipe. If the tofu that you buy comes dipped in water, please discard that water, carefully rinse the tofu under cold tap water, wrap it with a 2 or 3 thick paper towels. Then put it on a colander with a weight on top for about half an hour to an hour.
* You can marinate the tofu for an hour to overnight if you have time on hand.
* You can even use a teaspoon of ginger garlic paste.
* Fry the tofu in a single layer and fry them in batches if your pan is small
* Do not slice tofu too thin
* Apply masala with your fingers
* Do not fry on very high heat as that will burn the masala. At the same time frying it for a long time will destroy all the flavors. As soon as they turn little golden brown take them off heat.
* Tastes best the day it is made

Hot salted water helps firm tofu up to reduce breakage. Just bring a a pot with salted water to a boil, turn off, add tofu and remove from the burner. Let it sit for at least ten minutes. The osmosis of the salt water extracts more liquid and helps develop the proteins.

[@design-flux]

After the water is cooled to Luke warm remove the tofu and proceed with recipe.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Thanks so much for that tip.

[@design-flux]

@@CurriesWithBumbi No problem, happy to help!! Thank you for a wonderful recipe! I love your channel and get excited whenever I see you post a new video! ❤️🥰🙏🏻

I’ve noticed that freezing improves the texture - I don’t know how, but it does.

[@Ace_Hunter_lives]

Can we all take a moment to appreciate Bumbi's wonderfully dry and quirky sense of humor in her videos? "All that masala love you showed in the beginning will turn bitter"? Ha! I love it.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Thank You 😀

[@megcasey9902]

You are my people! The “pishy pashy mashy dashy” literally had me laughing out loud, and hitting the back button over and over. Bumbi is such a gem.

[@Stenly17]

I lost it at "getting a pishy-pashy tofu that will get all mashy-dashy"

[@SuperSuperpenisman]

I love her delivery

[@mrpurohitjii]

That's the first thing I noticed in the video..that sense of humour. I am sure food served with that ingredient would taste even yummier than what I would with exact same amount of msala love.

[@megcasey9902]

Only Bumbi could say “Pishy Pashy…Mashy Dashy” and we not only know exactly what she means, but completely love and embrace the phrase. Well done, as always. Bumbi is my go to channel whenever I need cooking ideas and a mental uplift.

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

You can buy a tofu press that both helps draw out excess water and allows the marinade to get deeper into the tofu. I was skeptical at first, but it really does the job. Thank you for this recipe; we eat a lot of tofu in my house and this was a definite hit. I like to eat this in naan that has been spread with a bit of tamarind chutney and green chutney. It’s kind of like grilled cheese sandwiches but better.

Anyone who messed up with the tofu sticking to the pan like me - add 2tbsp of starch and mash everything up together in the pan, make it like a pancake shape and add oil around the rim. Flip it once one side is crispy.

Oh no. Sorry about that. Please use a parchment paper next time over the pan.

How to remove tofu smell

[@italoblu]

Can you fry the tofu first at a high heat, then add the curry sauce after?
