Equipment

  • 1 Large Pan

Ingredients

  • 300 g firm tofu
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (sub vegan butter)
  • 1 tsp ginger paste
  • 1 green chili
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1/2 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tomato
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • black salt
  • black pepper
  • 1/3 cup oat milk
  • coriander (garnish)
  • lemon wedge (garnish)

Instructions

  • Crumble up your firm tofu.
  • Fry cumin and fennel seeds in olive oil until it crackles. 
  • Add ginger paste and saute until fragrant. Add in tomatoes and these spices - turmeric, garam masala, coriander powder, chili powder, onion and garlic powder. This would take 5-10 minutes. Add more oil or olive oil if the mixture sticks to the pan.
  • When they are done (you will see some oil floating at the sides and the tomatoes must be mushed), add in your firm tofu and coat well in the mixture.
  • Add your oat milk, black salt and black pepper. Taste test to see if all the spices are well balanced.
  • Serve with coriander, lemon wedge and a crispy buttered toasted bread.

Notes

  1. If you want your scramble to be more spicy, chop up 1 more green chili finely and add it in after adding in your ginger paste.
  2. You can substitute the onion and garlic powder with 1 finely chopped red onion and 1 tsp minced garlic. Add this after the cumin powder and sauté until caramelized.
