I recently made tofu bhurji, and it was a game-changer for my breakfast routine. As someone who’s always loved the flavors of paneer bhurji, I was looking for a vegan alternative. This Tofu bhurji turned out to be perfect thanks to the mouth-watering Indian spices. I went easy on amount of the spices to keep the recipe breakfast friendly. The tofu crumbles so easily, mimicking the texture of scrambled eggs, and it absorbs the spices beautifully, just like paneer. I sautéed onions, tomatoes, capsicum, and a mix of spices, then folded in the tofu, letting it soak up all the flavors. It was delicious, satisfying, and incredibly healthy. Plus, it’s quick to make, which is ideal for my busy mornings. Now, tofu bhurji is a staple in my kitchen, giving me all the familiar tastes I love without any of the dairy or eggs.
Ingredients notes
Tofu – I have used firm tofu but this recipe works with silken tofu too. Oil Onion, garlic, ginger and green chilies – chopped Tomatoes – fresh chopped. Bell pepper – chopped. I used green but you can use any colour. Cumin seeds and fennel – the fennel is optional but gives great flavour. Spices – red chilli powder, turmeric powder, cumin coriander powder and garam masala Lemon juice – use fresh or bottled Salt and black pepper to taste Cilantro (coriander) to serve with Optional additions Add in chopped kale or spinach. Add in grated vegan cheese to mimic cheesy scrambled eggs.
Serving suggestion
I love it on top of toast. It’s perfect on toasted sourdough slices with some sliced avocado. Serve it as part of a full english with vegan sausages, hashbrowns, tomatoes, mushroom and baked beans. Make it part of an Indian meal with Whole wheat roti, an Indian vegetable curry recipe and salad.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and eat up within 2 days. Reheat in the microwave. You can also freeze the bhurji for 3 months.
