Tofu Manchurian Recipe - Paneer Manchurian
December 18, 2014
Tofu (paneer) manchurian recipe; paneer manchurian is a popular Indo-Chinese dish and I make it often at home. Tofu, is an healthy alternative to paneer and is cholesterol free, also rich in protein.
I had shared tofu masala curry earlier and when I made this for dinner, I badly wanted to share this with you. It is easy to make and can be served with fried rice or roti.
Now, the fun part....while making this I had an absolute crazy idea of taking a video, yes you can call me crazy because that means I have to cook with one hand and shoot with the other (no, I do not have a tripod).
And yes, even though it is shaky and amateurish I manage to shoot one (yeah!).
Here is the video, my bleak attempt at video-graphing....
PREP TIME: 5 mins | COOK TIME: 10 mins | AUTHOR:: NISA HOMEY
INGREDIENTS
METHOD:
- Marinate tofu, in 1/2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder, 1 tsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp cornflour, and 1/2 tsp salt.
- Heat 2 tbsp oil in an iron skillet pan or nonstick pan, add in the marinated tofu and shallow fry. Once done remove to a paper napkin and keep aside.
- In the same pan, add in chopped garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Then add in onions stir fry for a min, add in capsicum and stir fry again.
- Add in 1/2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder and mix, the remaining oil in the pan, helps the raw flavor to diminish.
- Add in 1/2 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp chilli sauce, and 1 tbsp tomato sauce and mix well. Add in 1/2 tsp salt.
- Mix 1 tsp corn flour in 3 tbsp of water in the same bowl which was used to marinate the tofu.
- Drop in the shallow fried tofu, and mix well.
- Sprinkle chopped spring onions.
- Serve hot.
NOTES
- I made this whole curry in 2 tbsp oil, shallow frying in less oil is healthier than deep frying
- Marinating with cornflour, gives the tofu a light coating and which make it crispy and crunchy after shallow frying
- If you feel it is a bit spicy, reduce the red chilli sauce and red chilli powder by half.
