How to make Grilled Tofu Sandwich-Indian Tofu Recipe
Description
This is a yummy grilled tofu sandwich made with delicious pan fried masala tofu and tangy mint coriander chutney.
Ingredients
Dry Masala Mix
Mint Coriander Chutney
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
- 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
- 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
- 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!
