Notes
For the best results, use extra-firm or firm tofu. Pressing the tofu is an essential step in draining the water and removing excess moisture. To press tofu, place it in deep plate, cover it with a paper towel and keep a heavy object (such as a cast iron pan) on top for atleast 15-20 minutes. // While the specified spices are sufficient to make this recipe, you could also add Curry Powder for a delicious twist. // This Tofu Bhurji tastes best when eaten the same day of cooking, but can be stored in an airtight container for about 2-3 days in the refrigerator. // If you are not on a Plant-based Whole30, you can enjoy Tofu Bhurji as a side dish with roti, naan, rice, lentils or stuffed in parathas and sandwiches.
