Ingredients 

  • 1 block extra firm tofu
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion,, diced
  • 1 inch ginger,, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic,, minced
  • ½ cup scallions,, chopped
  • 1 medium bell pepper,, diced
  • 1 small zucchini,, diced
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes,, quartered
  • 1 cup packed spinach,, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 tablespoon pav bhaji masala or garam masala
  • 2 teaspoons black salt, (also known as sanchal or kala namak)
  • ½ teaspoon red chili powder;, optional
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ juice of lime
  • cilantro to garnish

Instructions

  • Press the tofu by patting it dry and wrapping it with an absorbent towel. Place under something heavy such as a heavy cutting board or a cast-iron skillet for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet on medium heat.
  • Add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start turning translucent. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the scallions, bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and spinach and cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetable start to soften. Add the turmeric, cumin, pav bhaji masala (or garam masala), black salt, and salt.
  • Crumble the tofu and add into the vegetable mixture. Combine well and let it cook for about 5 minutes so the flavors soak into the tofu.
  • Add the lime juice and garnish with cilantro. Enjoy warm with some toast, a tortilla, or eat it alone!

Notes

  • Garam masala tasted great with this tofu scramble as well. I have also used a chana masala and it worked wonderfully!
  • If you don't have black salt, just include a little more of the regular salt and adjust to your taste preference.
