Description

This is a yummy grilled tofu sandwich made with delicious pan fried masala tofu and tangy mint coriander chutney.

Ingredients

396g or 14oz Firm Tofu

1 tbsp. Cooking oil
16 bread slices
Butter

Dry Masala Mix

1/2 tsp. cumin powder
1/2 tsp. coriander powder
1 tsp. garam masala powder

1 tsp. Kashmiri red chilli powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt (or to taste)

Mint Coriander Chutney

1/2 cup coriander leaves
1/2 cup mint leaves
1 large garlic clove

1 tbsp. fresh lime juice
Salt (to taste)
1 Green chilli

1/4 cup water
1-2 ice cubes

Instructions

Use firm tofu for this recipe

Drain the water from the tofu pack
Place the tofu in the freezer for 1 hr. Freezing and thawing tofu creates a network of pores in the tofu that helps it crisp up better when fried and also makes it more absorbent.
Thaw the tofu and press out as much liquid as you can

Cut the tofu in 8 slices and subsequently into 16 pieces (by making a perpendicular cut, refer to video)
Make the dry masala mix
Cover the tofu pieces with the masala mix (on both sides)

Spread the masala so it sticks well to the tofu
Set the tofu pieces aside to marinate and make the mint coriander chutney

Mint Coriander Chutney

In a grinder jar add mint leaves, coriander leaves, 1 large garlic clove, green chillies to taste, some lime juice and salt to taste

Add some ice to the jar. (Adding ice to the blender jar helps the chutney maintain a vibrant green color)
Add 1/4 cup of water and blend well
Pour it into a bowl

Pan Frying the Tofu

Use a non stick pan for this recipe
Brush some oil (any neutral cooking oil) on the pan
Heat the pan to a medium/high heat

Place the tofu pieces and cook till both sides turn golden brown
You can drizzle some oil on the tofu before flipping it
It should take approximately 5 min per side

Grilled Tofu sandwich

Take 2 slices of bread
Smear some mayonnaise and green chutney on the bread slices
Add tofu and raw onion slices

Make a sandwich
Smear some butter on one side of the sandwich
Place the butter side down on a grill sandwich maker or a grill pan

Smear some more butter on the other side of the sandwich
Cook till sandwich is crisp and golden brown
Cut the grilled sandwich in 2 triangles

Dip the sandwich in ketchup or green chutney and enjoy!
