- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon Coriander

- Place the all-purpose flour in a plate and the breadcrumbs in another plate.
- Coat one tofu slice with all-purpose flour, then transfer to the bowl with the chickpea flour batter, and last, coat with breadcrumbs.
- Heat some oil using a shallow pan, add the tofu schnitzel, and cook until golden brown.
- Flip and cook on the other side.
- When crispy, transfer to a paper towel to release any excess oil.
- Serve with some potatoes, a green salad and lemon wedges to squeeze some fresh lemon juice.
