Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 medium yellow onion finely diced
- ½ tablespoon ginger grated
- ½ tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 plum tomato diced
- 2 to 3 tablespoons Shan Keema seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 14 ounces extra firm tofu
- ½ cup cilantro chopped
To Serve:
- 1 cup Cucumber Raita
- 1 head Boston lettuce or iceberg lettuce rinsed and pat dried
- 1 cup red cabbage thinly sliced
- 1 cup carrots thinly sliced
- ½ cup cilantro chopped
- 1 lime cut into wedges
Instructions
- Heat oil in a medium pan. Add onions and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on medium high heat stirring frequently. Place a lid on the pan to speed up cooking. Add ginger and garlic cook for a minute. Add tomatoes and mix well. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until tomatoes become soft. Add 2 tablespoons of Shan spice mix. Tip - You can add more spice seasoning in the end after mixing in the tofu for a spicier keema. Lower the heat.
- Stir in tofu and break it in with a spatula so that it's ground and crumbly. Add salt and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn the heat off. Garnish with cilantro.
Cup of Yum
To serve:
- Cut the bottom stem of the lettuce so the leaves can be easily separated. If using iceberg lettuce, it is ok if each leaf gets broken into 3 to 4 pieces. Just layer 2 to 3 over each other to form a cup.
- Add 2 to 3 spoons of tofu keema on the lettuce cups. Garnish with purple cabbage, carrots, and cilantro. Add a squeeze of lime. Add a spoonful of raita and serve.
