Ingredients
- 1 block (about 14 oz) firm tofu
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon black salt (kala namak)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 quarters unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 0.5 cup chopped spinach
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess liquid. You can do this by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for about 10 minutes.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, crumble the tofu with your hands until it resembles fine crumbles.
Step 3
Add chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, turmeric, black salt, and baking powder to the crumbled tofu. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.
Step 4
Slowly pour in the almond milk while stirring to create a batter-like consistency. You want it to be thicker than pancake batter but thinner than bread dough. Adjust the amount of almond milk if needed.
Step 5
Fold in the chopped green onions and spinach into the mixture. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 7
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture for each patty and place it into the skillet, spreading it into a round, patty shape with a spatula.
Step 8
Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the patties are cooked through and golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from skillet and repeat until all mixture is used up. Serve warm as part of a breakfast dish or sandwich filling.
