Cauliflower and Tofu stir fry

Cauliflower is a veggie that I used to cook in many ways. However Tofu is new for me. But I have tasted it. This is the first time I cooked tofu. Anyway while cooking I was scared because of its softness. :)

Ingredients

Tofu (half of the standard size pack)

1 stem of cauliflower

½ carrot cut into pieces

1 onion sliced

1 green chilli

Curry leaves

1 stick cinnamon

1 tsp chilli powder

½ tspn fengruik seed

Salt to taste

Oil for frying

Method

Remove the water of tofu. Then use   a paper towel to absorb water from tofu if any.

Cut it into small cubes.

Wash & cut cauliflower into small florets.

Mix all ingredients except tofu, with cauliflower & keep aside.

Heat 1-2 tbspn oil in a pan.

Once oil is hot, add tofu.

Carefully stir & make the tofu to fry until it gets golden colour.

Then add the cauliflower mix.

Mix well but carefully, not to break tofu cubes.

Cover with a lid & cook for few minutes until cauliflower is done. Add small amount of water if the mix is too dry.

Check for salt.

It is ready to serve.

Wash, clean & cut spinach (here I have used another type of spinach) into about 2 inch size pieces. Keep aside.

Cut the boiled potato into cubes.
