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

1 Slice your tofu into square cubes, patting them dry. 2 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. 3 Dunk your tofu cubes into the batter and let it marinate for 30 minutes or so. 4 Heat oil in a pan. 5 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. 6 Fry till golden brown. 7 Serve with more lashings of lime, and a mint or chilli chutney.
