Ingredients

• 200 grams Firm tofu
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 0.5 teaspoon Kala namak (black salt)
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 stalks Scallions (green onions)
• 1 clove Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Press the firm tofu to remove excess moisture by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel and placing a heavy object on top for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, dice the tomatoes into small cubes and finely chop the scallions. Mince the garlic.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and the white parts of the scallions. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and release their juices.

Step 5

Crumble the pressed tofu into small pieces, resembling scrambled eggs, and add it to the skillet with the tomatoes.

Step 6

Sprinkle the turmeric powder, kala namak, and ground black pepper over the tofu. Mix well to combine and add a splash of water to ensure the mixture doesn't dry out.

Step 7

Drizzle the soy sauce over the tofu and stir well. Let everything cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Garnish with the green parts of the scallions and give it a final stir. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Serve hot as is or with steamed rice, toast, or as a filling for wraps.
