Ingredients

150 grams of firm silken tofu

3/4 cup besan (chickpea flour)

1 green chilli

1 teaspoon garam masala

1/2 cup semolina

1/2 Juice of a lime

1/2 cup vegetable oil

Preparation

Slice your tofu into square cubes, patting them dry.

Make a batter using the chickpea flour, chilli (finely chopped), garam masala, and lime juice. You'll need about 1/2 cup of water to bind everything into a smooth liquid batter.

Dunk your tofu cubes into the batter and let it marinate for 30 minutes or so.

Heat oil in a pan.

Dunk the marinated tofu into a plate of semolina, ensuring that the cubes have a decent amount of batter on them firstly, and then are completely coated in semolina.

Fry till golden brown.

Serve with more lashings of lime, and a mint or chilli chutney.
