Course: Sides

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 15 minutes

Total time: 25 minutes

Serves: 4 

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp cumin seed
• ½  tsp black rai
• 4 garlic cloves, peeled and cut into small pieces
• 1” ginger, grated
• ¾ ts turmeric powder
• ¾ tsp rock salt, more can be added after tasting.
• 350 g broadbean, frozen and defrosted
• 400 g firm tofu, drained and cut into small cubes
• ¼ black pepper, finely ground
• ¼ ts red chili flakes (optional)
• Few sprigs of coriander, coarsely cut

Method:

1. Take a heavy based frying pan and keep it on medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and as soon as it gets a little hot, add cumin and mustard. As soon as it starts bubbling, add garlic and ginger. When garlic pieces turn into light pink, add turmeric and salt and stir nicely. Add broad bean, mix it well with the mixture and cover the pan. The heat should be reduced to low and keep it for 7 to 8 minutes or until soft. Take it from the pan and keep aside.
2. Use the same pan. Keep it on medium fire and add remaining oil and as soon as it gets hot, add tofu pieces along with a little salt and keep on stirring it occasionally until these turn a little brown. Mix broad beans and leave it on the heat for another 5 minutes.
3. Remove from heat. Add black pepper and mix it properly. Garnish with coriander leaves.
