As the onions fry, wash 2 cups of rice in a sieve. Bring to the boil, then let simmer in the background until water is absorbed.
Sauté 2t ginger-garlic paste.
Mix together 1T Coriander, 1/2T Cumin and 1/4T Turmeric powders with a little water, add to pan.
Add the scrambled firm Tofu. You can scramble the tofu with a fork, or simply dice it up :-)
Fry until dry.
Now add 3/4 cup Pasta Sauce/Tomato puree. We used a single serving of 140g tomato puree. Two servings of this puree or 3/4 cup of “Dolmio” etc pasta sauce would work well.
Just before removing from heat, mix in 1t Garam Masala and 1T lemon juice.
Enjoy with friends :-) Served over rice, with samosa.
Frozen vegetable samosa, available at all good supermarkets. Normally located by the frozen corn, pies etc, they cost about $7 for 50 samosa.
Coat with oil, heat at 180 degrees C for about 15m. Check on them, and turn them over after 10 minutes.
