Marinated and Sauteed Tofu slices

Try this easy marinated tofu slices and I guarantee that you will look tofu differently. Very simple dish to make, the only caveat is the time it takes to marinate - around 15 minutes. 

Recipe for the Tofu

Firm tofu	1 Packet (I used the ka kim brand available in Bangalore)
Curd/yogurt	1/2 cup (Fresh or slightly sour)
Black salt	1/4 tsp
Turmeric	Pinch
Chilli Powder	1/4 tsp Optional

Directions

• Slice the firm tofu length wise about 1/2 cm thick.

• Whisk together the yogurt, turmeric powder, black salt into a shallow bowl.

• Place the tofu slices in the curd mixture. Cover and marinate for 15 to 30 minutes.

• Heat a pan, grease with 1/2 tsp oil, place the tofu slices once it is medium hot.

• You can add some more oil at this point or leave as is if the pan is well seasoned. 

• Cook on medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side.

• Right after it is  cooked on both sides and just before removing sprinkle the chilli powder. 

• They are very tasty when hot and become very chewy once cooled. I usually make it just before setting the table. 

We have this as a side dish with dal and rice.
