ingredients
- 1 block tofu
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup turmeric
- 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
- 3/4 cup water
- Salt
- 2 cups cornflakes
- Oil (for frying)
Method
Step 1
Start off by crushing your cornflakes: place the cornflakes in a ziplock bag and seal. Grind/crush using a rolling pin until an even consistency is reached.
Step 2
Drain and press the tofu block - getting rid of the excess liquid.
Step 3
Cut tofu into cubes.
Step 4
Add the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, turmeric, chilli flakes and salt to a bowl to make the batter.
Step 5
Add water to the bowl until a smooth (liquid) consistency is formed. Slowly add more water (in small increments) until that consistency is reached.
Step 6
Coat the tofu in this batter.
Step 7
Roll the tofu blocks in the cornflakes for a crispy outside.
Step 8
Fry in a pan with olive oil (on medium heat) until golden brown and crispy. Ensure all sides cook.
Step 9
Once frying is complete, transfer tofu to a plate with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 10
Then season fried tofu with salt for extra flavour.
