Another hit recipe from gourmet chef Natalina Rinaldi! This crispy tofu recipe is delicious on its own, added to a salad, or in a wrap with veggies. This tofu goes great with some garlic yogurt sauce for dipping or including in your wrap.

Ingredients

• 1 pkg (420 gr) FIRM tofu, drained and sliced horizontally)

• Vegetable oil

• 1 tsp SPICEFIEND Curry Flavoured Spice Melange

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

• Salt

• Cornstarch

instructionS

1. Slice tofu, brush with minimal oil on both sides. Lay them in a baking dish.

2. Combine Curry Spice Melange and garlic powder and sprinkle over both sides. Cover the dish with plastic wrap, and marinate in fridge overnight.

3. When ready to cook, sprinkle a bit of salt over the tofu (not too much!) to taste.

4. Sprinkle cornstarch in a plate and dredge the tofu slices in it just before cooking.

5. Shake off excess cornstarch. (It’s just as good without this step, but not as crispy).

6. Add some veg oil in a frying pan and lay the slices in when oil is hot. Turn slices over to brown and crisp both sides. About 5 min each side. Don’t overcook!

7. Blot on paper towels.
