Old Recipe...New Twist?

I was always under the impression that I am the only one in my house who is constantly on the lookout and "listen-out" (is that a word??) for new recipe ideas. Apparently, I learnt this past weekend, that in fact is not the case. ;)

My hubby came home and told me that a colleague at work was telling him about a recipe (who knew techie guys discussed food!?) ;)  and that reminded him of another recipe and how would that taste if we changed it up? I'm in!!

We took his usual staple of Egg Bhurji (which is like an Indianized version of extremely scrambled eggs) to Tofu Bhurji (substituting tofu for the eggs).

So, with my 7 year old "kitchen helper-in-training" we set out to try this new recipe for ourselves. She chopped all the tofu into the tiny pieces, while I cut up the rest. :)

Here's our recipe for approximately 1 person. 

We finely chopped (totally the key to type of recipe) to start:

approx. 1/4 of the Tofu block
half a large onion
half a large tomato
half a green bell pepper

a little bit of olive oil
Salt, to taste
Cumin powder - 1/2 tsp.- to taste
Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp. - to taste
Red Chili powder - 1/2 tsp. - to taste
Turmeric - just a pinch

First, saute the onions, when they are almost done, add the bell peppers, and after some time the tomatoes. After they all fry together a bit, add the salt.  After the tomatoes let out some water, add the chopped tofu. As you mix everything together the tofu will become crumbly. Add the cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder and turmeric. Keep stirring until everything gets mixed together. Once all the ingredients have come together and the tofu is a looking cooked through, your dish is done. It should look something like this. :)   Good Luck!
