Tofu Bhurji

( aka Indian Spiced Scrambled Tofu )


Ingredients

2 cups crumbled extra firm Tofu
2 cup chopped mushrooms (optional)
1 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped bell pepper
1 cup chopped tomatoes
2 tbs finely chopped garlic
1 finely chopped jalapeno
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tbsp red chili powder
3/4 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp garam masala
Chopped cilantro
Salt to taste




Directions :

1) Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add onions, mushrooms, garlic and jalapenos. Fry until the onions turn slightly pink. Don't over cook the onions.
2) Add bell peppers and saute for 3-4 minutes or until the bell pepper are al-dente.
3) Add chopped tomatoes. Mix in all the spices and salt. Fry until tomatoes are mushy.
4)  Add crumbled tofu and mix until everything is well combined. Cover the pan with a lid and let the mixture cook for 4-5 minutes on medium heat. Keep stirring the mixture in between.
5) Garnish with cilantro.

Note:
1) Instead of tofu you can use paneer or eggs to make paneer/egg bhurji
2) You don't want the bhurji to be too dry, just moist and mushy.
