Tofu pulav

Ingredients: 

1. 2 tbsp vegetable oil
2. 1 tsp cumin seeds
3. 1 green chilli , chopped
4. 2 carrots , peeled and chopped
5. ½ broccoli head , cut into small florets
6. 2 stalks spring onions , chopped
7. 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
8. 2 tsp cumin powder
9. ½ tsp turmeric powder
10. 1 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder , or to taste
11. Salt , to taste
12. 100 gm firm tofu , cut into cubes
13. 2 cups cooked brown rice

Preparation Method: 

• Heat oil in a broad pan or kadhai.
• Add cumin seeds and when the seeds start to spatter add chili, carrots and broccoli florets.
• Carrots and broccoli take longer to cook, so add them first. Cover and let them cook for about 3-4 minutes till they start to soften.
• Stir in between so that the vegetables are evenly cooked and don’t stick to the pan.
• Next, add the spring onions, all the spices, and tomato ketchup (you can also use your own homemade tomato chutney instead of ketchup).
• Mix well and sauté for a couple of minutes. Add the cooked brown rice and stir everything together nicely.
• Add the tofu in the end and gently stir everything together just one more time. Tofu tends to break easily which is why always add it in the end.
• Adjust seasoning and serve hot.
