Tofu Beans Bhurji

Tofu..... as I already said has become a weekly ingredient as a replacement for paneer. I am on a hunt for new Tofu recipes and this is one such find!!! As you all know, Tofu does not have a taste of its own.... it is quite bland, but when accompanied with spices and other veggies it goes on very well. This is a normal bhurji but since I had beans in hand I added them along.... For the first look its similar to an egg bhurji and also close to it in taste... So, lets move on to the recipe.....

You will need..........

• 500 gm of Tofu mashed
• 150 gm of beans cut into roundels
• 1/2 tsp chilli powder
• 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/2 tsp jeera powder
• 1/2 tsp pepper powder
• 1 tsp mustard seeds
• 2 tsp urad dhal
• A sprig of curry leaves
• 2 green chillies minced
• Salt to taste
• 1 tsp of oil

Get going..........

Mash up the tofu well along with all the spice powders (chilli, turmeric, jeera, pepper) and required salt. Keep it aside. 

Heat a kadai with oil and temper it with mustard, urad dhal, curry leaves and green chillies. Now add in the beans with half a cup of water and cook until the water is fully absorbed. Now add in the mashed tofu. Remember Tofu will let out some water. Wait until it dries up say for about 5 mins and then switch off the stove. Now the Tofu Beans Bhurji is ready.

Enjoy it along with warm curry and rice!!!!
