Tofu Scramble and Crispy Corn Fritters

Here is another one of my healthy food posts. Best part is the simple and quick preparation.

For the Scrambled Tofu - You Need (Serves 2):

• Tofu – 200 gm
• Chopped Vegetables:
• Onion – one (medium sized)
• Spring Onion – two
• Capsicum – one
• Garlic – two cloves
• Coriander
• Green Chilies – two
• Salt, Black Pepper, Chilli Flakes
• Olive Oil/Vegetable Oil

Preparation:

Keep the tofu in lukewarm water for 3-5 mins and drain out excess water. Mash up the Tofu to form crumbles.

Heat two tsp oil in a pan and fry the garlic. Add onions, capsicum, chillies and stir fry till they are partially cooked (this is to retain the crunchiness of the vegetables). Add the crumbled tofu and fry for 3-5 mins on medium flame. Add salt, pepper, chilli flakes and coriander and mix well.

Tada! You are ready to serve!

For The Corn Fritters - You Need (serves two):

• 2 cups sweet corn
• 1/4 cup finely chopped spring onions
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• 1 Chopped Green Chilli
• 1/4 cup coriander leaves, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup rice flour
• 1/2 cup corn flour
• 1/2 cup water (can add more/less according to need)
• 1 tsp black pepper
• Olive oil/Vegetable Oil
• Salt to taste
• Any other seasoning (optional)

Preparation:

Mix rice flour and corn flour and add the water to make a batter that is slightly thick but not runny. You should be able to scoop up and drop it on the pan.

Add the vegetables, salt and seasoning and mix well.

Heat a non-stick tawa with some oil spread across the surface.

Put the batter on the tawa in small thin lumps (similar to how to put for a uttapam, see image below) and let it cook till crispy and brown. Flip it over and let the other side turn crisp and brown as well,

Tastes best when served hot with a dip of your choice.
