Hot salted water helps firm tofu up to reduce breakage. Just bring a a pot with salted water to a boil, turn off, add tofu and remove from the burner. Let it sit for at least ten minutes. The osmosis of the salt water extracts more liquid and helps develop the proteins.
@@CurriesWithBumbi No problem, happy to help!! Thank you for a wonderful recipe! I love your channel and get excited whenever I see you post a new video! ❤️🥰🙏🏻
Only Bumbi could say “Pishy Pashy…Mashy Dashy” and we not only know exactly what she means, but completely love and embrace the phrase. Well done, as always. Bumbi is my go to channel whenever I need cooking ideas and a mental uplift.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate Bumbi's wonderfully dry and quirky sense of humor in her videos? "All that masala love you showed in the beginning will turn bitter"? Ha! I love it.
That's the first thing I noticed in the video..that sense of humour. I am sure food served with that ingredient would taste even yummier than what I would with exact same amount of msala love.
You made my day, in hunger mode and all restaurants near me are worthless. I tried this simple and tasty dish made in 15 minutes and trust me my tummy got completely satisfied.
I don't mind sugar, it makes quite a difference, it makes a dish taste "rounder", though I prefer maple syrup or honey, but the result is the same. I love paneer so I'll try this.
I just made this for lunch. The masalas and method are excellent. Very clearly explained. I did add ginger garlic also. Now looking forward to another of your wonderful recipes. Thank you.

Tofu in any form is relished by Navika the most .Can’t wait to try this along with yogurt mint dip (blending few mint leaves, coriander leaves,2garlic cloves,1 green chilli, chatmasala,lime juice, salt n yogurt)..M sure it vl taste yummy🤤 Thank u soo much for the recipe dear🫶🤗Wishing u a Happy weekend
Nice recipe. First time I'm doing tofu like that. Not the last time ! Firm tofu : try freezing the tofu when you get it from the store and keep it in the freezer until the day before you need it. This will produce a firm tofu by itself. I buy tofu in unnamed 1.5 kg blocks so I chop it in 4 large blocks, place each in a freezer ziploc bag then freeze them and keep them there. This technique of producing firm tofu was found centuries ago in northern Japan during winters. Nice to start any tofu recipe with a tofu that already has a bite to it. EDIT : I saw it was suggested previously and you prefer the squeeze/strain tofu texture. Both has its uses I guess. The freezer approach requires no extra work at all. Thanks for the recipes !
"You will end up getting a pishy-pashy tofu that will get all mashy-dashy." Absolute my FAVORITE line of 2023. I can't wait to tell my cooking friends about this recipe (as well as adding your advice).
You can buy a tofu press that both helps draw out excess water and allows the marinade to get deeper into the tofu. I was skeptical at first, but it really does the job. Thank you for this recipe; we eat a lot of tofu in my house and this was a definite hit. I like to eat this in naan that has been spread with a bit of tamarind chutney and green chutney. It’s kind of like grilled cheese sandwiches but better.
Just found your channel.... Every dish is mouthwatering. Sometimes I get strong cravings for spicy food... sometimes hurt me spicy. Often I make a very spicy chinese style fried tofu... Chili, garlic, ginger, dash of soy. Fabulous with rice. Going to try your recipes as soon as I can.
Another brilliant recipe! Can’t wait to try it. Being vegetarian I am always looking for easy new tofu recipes. Thank u for the home made curry powder recipe, that is where I struggle as there r so many different ones in the market.

😅Hey! I am ur new subscriber. Loved d way U marinated d tofu n shallow fried it. Thanx for wonderful explanation. We dont like d taste of tofu,so was looking for marinating it.
Very nicely explained… small tips which u r giving continuously will help beginners to understand better n learn better n cook better. Thank u so much🥰… I m luking for dis type of recipes for my daughter who will go to US next month for higher studies … God bless u… subscribed 👏👏👏 Can you please upload more easy n simple recipes 😊
Anyone who messed up with the tofu sticking to the pan like me - add 2tbsp of starch and mash everything up together in the pan, make it like a pancake shape and add oil around the rim. Flip it once one side is crispy.
We also had this today to go with your fantastic Three Lentil Masala. Yet another excellent, delicious, quick and healthy recipe. (recipe 121) Wow!!! This tofu recipe is superb 😋So very easy to make. Can't wait to make it again. I ❤tofu. My son is just so impressed by your recipes Bumbi. He always says they are better than from a restaurant and we have been to some excellent restaurants. I totally agree with him ⭐Have a wonderful weekend. Take care 💕xxx
@@CurriesWithBumbithank you Bumbi 🤗 i tried already a different type of tofu in the Airfryer - of course it was not thaaaat good but it was ok. if your tofu doesn't get bitter in the airfryer then I'm satisfied. 😊 but maybe I'll just try it out myself 🤗
Hey Bumbi, I'm loving your videos! I have a question - in the past I've made a curry with the following ingredients, and I wondered what to call it? As in... what type of curry does it most resemble?

You are my people! The “pishy pashy mashy dashy” literally had me laughing out loud, and hitting the back button over and over. Bumbi is such a gem.
I lost it at "getting a pishy-pashy tofu that will get all mashy-dashy"

Very nice recipe.. just that lemon juice is must I felt.

Hello mam
Is there any replacement for yogurt mam or else can we go with the normal dairy yogurt?
You can definitely use curd (dahi), but please put it in a tea strainer for sometime to drain off excess water
@@CurriesWithBumbi

Can you fry the tofu first at a high heat, then add the curry sauce after?
It tastes better in this way

This looks so tasty
Thanks

How about using what is called “hard tofu” ? Have seen this type of tofu at Oriental stores .
I am not aware of “hard tofu”. I always use firm/extra firm tofu
@@CurriesWithBumbi I am in US and happen to be at an Oriental store and saw a package . It may be not as soft as regular tofu .
What is curry powder

Maybe the temperature was too high. Try reducing the temperature and fry for less time
@@CurriesWithBumbi thank you! 🥰
From where did you buy your firm tofu?
My grocery store.
Namaste Bumbi 🙏
The only negative 😢thing on our Chanel is these videos make us so HUNGRY 😋 😂😂😂😂😂
Colin❤🇮🇳🏴👍👍
Haha 😀😆
Hey Bumbi, I'm loving your videos!
I have a question - in the past I've made a curry with the following ingredients, and I wondered what to call it? As in... what type of curry does it most resemble?
Paste:
Coconut oil
Cumin
Cinnamon
Cloves
Chilli powder
Turmeric
Splash of soy sauce
Gravy:
Garlic
Red onion
Bell pepper
Chopped tomatoes
Tofu/meatballs, whatever you fancy...
Any thoughts welcome
The soy sauce has made things harder. There is a chicken 65 recipe but it doesn’t have much of gravy.
Reminds me of Persian dishes...
You are so sweet, Mata Bumbiji! My farorite aphorism is: You are not dealing with stones here. 🥰
Thanks for watching
The best ever tofu recipe! Thanks Bumbi for such an incredible dish❤
Thank you 🙏🏾
❤
Instead of frying the tofu, have you considered 'Baking'them instead?
Yes, I tried. Comes out equally good
@@CurriesWithBumbi Thank you Bumbi! I really like to watch your video's - they truly have the tastes that I look for. You really know how to use your spices, I love hot and spicy especially. Thank you!
