Ingredients
Method
- 1
Heat the oil in a pan on medium. Add cumin, then onion and chilli, and cook 2 to 3 minutes until translucent.
- 2
Add capsicum for 1 minute, then tomato, turmeric, chilli powder and salt. Cook 2 minutes until the tomato softens.
- 3
Add the crumbled tofu and stir to coat. Cook 3 to 4 minutes on medium-high so any water evaporates and the tofu picks up colour.
- 4
Switch off, sprinkle kala namak and coriander, and serve.
Tips
- Kala namak gives the eggy taste; add it at the end so it does not turn bitter.
- Press the tofu between two plates with a weight on top for a firmer, less watery bhurji.
Swaps
- No tofu? Use 2 eggs plus 2 egg whites for a similar protein egg bhurji.
Storage
Keeps 2 days in the fridge; reheat in a pan for 2 minutes.
