How long does Tofu Bhurji keep in the fridge?

Tofu Bhurji keeps 3 to 4 days refrigerated in an airtight container. Reheat on the stove or microwave until piping hot before serving. We do not recommend freezing tempered dishes since the spices dull after thaw.

Can I make Tofu Bhurji ahead of time?

Tofu Bhurji is best served fresh; it comes together in about 20 minutes, so prep your ingredients ahead and cook just before serving. Pre-chopping the aromatics and measuring spices can cut active time in half.

What can I serve with Tofu Bhurji?

Classic pairings include roti, standalone. For a complete north indian thali, add a dal, a dry sabzi, papad, and a sweet ending.

Method

1Press tofu under a weight 10 minutes to drain extra water, then crumble coarsely.
2Heat oil, crackle cumin, add onion and cook till soft and translucent — 4 minutes.
3Add ginger-garlic and green chilli, fry 30 seconds; gently mix in capsicum and cook 2 minutes.
4Add tomato, turmeric, chilli powder and kala namak; cook till tomato breaks down and oil rises.
5Stir in crumbled tofu; toss gently for 4 minutes so it absorbs the masala without going mushy.
6Finish with garam masala and coriander. Serve hot with phulkas or wrap into a kati roll.
