- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 250g tofu
- 3 tomatoes, roughly chopped
- 115g frozen peas
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- a little fresh coriander (optional)
Cook the onion in the oil in a covered pan for 5 minutes, until the onion is beginning to soften. Stir in the garlic, ginger, cumin and turmeric and leave to cook for a minute or so.
Meanwhile, deal with the tofu: it needs to be drained, patted dry with kitchen paper and then cut into cubes. Add the tofu to the spicy mixture in the pan and cook for 5 minutes over a moderate heat, so that it becomes golden brown in places, stirring often.
Add the tomatoes and peas. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the peas have heated through and the tomatoes have softened. Stir in lemon juice, taste and season with salt and pepper. Snip some coriander over the top, if using.
