Directions

Prep 10 min Cook 15 min

1. To a large pan on high heat, add the oil and tofu. Turn it periodically so it gets lightly golden on all sides.

3. Add the ginger and mustard seeds. Cook for 2 more minutes.

4. Add the masala seasoning, salt, and chili and toast for another minute. The dish is spicy, so omit or add less chili if you're not a fan of heat.

6. Lastly, add the cooked tofu and stir it through.

7. Squeeze over the lime juice, stir, and serve with naan or rice. Enjoy!
