Ingredients
  

  • 7 oz. firm tofu (½ block)
  • ½ tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 6-8 curry leaves (optional)
  • 1 green chili, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, minced
  • ½ red onion, finely chopped
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • ¼-½ tsp garam masala
  • ¼ tsp red chili powder
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • ½ green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small tomato, diced
  • ½ tsp kala namak (Indian black salt)
  • handful of spinach (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Squeeze moisture out of tofu. Crumble tofu with a fork or grate it.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds. When they start to sputter, add cumin seeds and curry leaves.
  • Add green chili and minced ginger. Stir for 2 minutes before adding onions. When the onions are translucent, add the ground spices: coriander, garam masala, red chili powder, black pepper, and turmeric.
  • Add bell pepper, tomato, and kala namak. Combine well until cooked. When the bell pepper is tender, add crumbled tofu. Combine well and cover for 3 minutes. When it's done, add spinach and let it wilt in the heat.
  • Serve it inside a kathi roll or on toast, possibly with avocado and cilantro chutney!
