Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Press the tofu (if not extra-firm) between kitchen paper or cloth for 15–20 minutes to remove excess water. Then cut into bite-sized cubes.
- Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter for a few seconds.
- Add chopped ginger and garlic. Sauté till light golden and fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Add tofu cubes to the pan. Stir gently and cook on medium flame till light golden on at least two sides (about 4–5 mins).
- Add broccoli florets, red chilli powder, turmeric powder and black pepper. Stir well so spices coat tofu and broccoli.
- Add soy sauce and water. Cover and cook for 2–3 minutes until broccoli turns bright green and becomes just tender (retain some crunch).
- If using, drizzle lemon juice. Taste and adjust salt if needed. Mix gently.
- Turn off heat. Serve hot with steamed rice, roti or quinoa.
