How to Make Chilli Tofu

  • Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes and coat with the ingredients for the marinade - mixed with enough water to make a paste.
  • Heat 2 tsp of the oil in a non-stick or cast-iron pan.
  • Saute the tofu cubes on all sides until they become golden-brown.
  • Remove it to a plate.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tsp of oil and add cumin seeds.
  • When they sputter, add ginger and garlic and onion.
  • Saute until the onion becomes transparent.
  • Now add the coriander powder, black pepper, and minced green chilly.
  • Toss to coat it with spices and then add the green pepper.
  • Stir-fry until the bell pepper starts to soften but ensure that it still has a good bite to it.
  • Now add the tofu cubes and toss them with the spices.
  • Add the tamari or soy sauce and the corn flour mixed with water (this will give the tofu a nice glaze).
  • Stir until well mixed and remove from the heat.
  • Toss in the coriander and serve hot.
