Tofu Green Peas Masala

Tofu or Bean Curd is made from Soy Milk and is high in protein. I am not a fan of Tofu. I like Paneer much better than Tofu. I buy Tofu only once in a blue moon. The last time I bought Tofu, I tried making an Indian Style Curry using Tofu and Green Peas. My husband liked it though I would have preferred Paneer and Green Peas. We had this curry with Parathas. So all Tofu lovers out there can try this Tofu Green Peas Masala.

Tofu Green Peas Masala

Tofu Green Peas Masala

Ingredients

  1. Tofu (Diced into bite sized cubes) – 2 cups (It’s better to Use Firm Tofu)
  2. Green Peas – 1 cup (Fresh or Frozen)
  3. Diced Onions – 1 medium
  4. Crushed Tomatoes – 1 cup
  5. Ginger Garlic Paste – 1 tbsp
  6. Red Chilly Powder – 1 tsp
  7. Turmeric Powder – 1/2 tsp
  8. Cumin Powder – 1/2 tsp
  9. Chicken Masala Powder – 1 tbsp (Alternatively, you can use 1 tsp Garam Masala powder and 1 tsp Coriander powder)
  10. Mustard Seeds – 1/2 tsp
  11. Oil – 1 tbsp + 2 tbsp
  12. Water – 1 cup

For marinating the Tofu

  1. Red Chilly Powder – 1 tsp
  2. Turmeric Powder – 1/2 tsp
  3. Salt – to taste

Preparation Method

  1. Squeeze out water (as much as possible) from the Tofu without crumbling it. Marinate the Tofu cubes with red chilly powder, turmeric powder and salt. Keep aside for 10 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a non stick pan and fry the tofu cubes for around 10 minutes until browned on all sides.
  3. Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp oil in another pan and splutter mustard seeds. Add onions and saute until translucent.
  4. Add ginger garlic paste and saute for a few minutes.
  5. Reduce heat and add turmeric powder, red chilly powder, cumin powder and chicken masala powder. Saute for 2 minutes.
  6. Add the crushed tomatoes along with salt to taste and allow it to cook on medium heat for around 5-7 minutes.
  7. Add 1 cup of water to the pan and bring the gravy to a slow boil.
  8. Add the green peas and Tofu Cubes to the pan and mix everything gently.
  9. Cover and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the masala is coated on the Tofu.
  10. Serve this curry with Rice or Rotis.

Note

  • I used Canned Crushed Tomatoes in this recipe but you can use fresh Tomatoes instead. Canned Crushed Tomatoes give a deeper color and stronger taste to the curry.
