Spicy scrambled Tofu

Well…I heard a lot of good things about Tofu (Bean curd) and made it habit to use it often in my food lately. Tofu is low in calories, contains a relatively large amount of iron, protein, and contains little fat. It has very little flavor or smell on its own and hence can be flavored in many ways depending upon the method of cooking and the ingredients used. Here is a quick, healthy and spicy tofu recipe which is as tender and moist as scrambled eggs. Nothing beats scrambled eggs for a quick, satisfying meal. Scrambled tofu can be equally comforting and tasty too. All that you need to do is to spice it up with your favorite spices and vegetables.

Ingredients:

Firm tofu – 150 gms

Oil – 1 Tbsp

Cumin seeds – ½ Tsp

Onion- 1 small, chopped

Green chillies – 2 to 3, finely chopped

Capsicum Pieces– 1 cup (green, yellow and red mixed)

Turmeric – 1/8 Tsp

Soy sauce – ½ Tsp

Salt to taste

Method:

Wash the tofu, squeeze out the extra water and grate it coarsely.

Heat the oil in a wide skillet and add the cumin seeds, onion and green chillies and fry till onion turns translucent. Add in the Capsicum pieces and sauté for a minute or two.

Add the turmeric, salt to taste and soy sauce and cook for a minute.

Now stir in the grated tofu, mix well and cook for about 3 minutes. Adjust the salt if needed. Serve hot with a toast or can be wrapped in a tortilla.
