Receta Indian Tofu Vegetable Patties

by Soni's Food for Thought

Have I told you how much I love Tofu? I love the fact that it can be used in so many different ways and is a great source of protein for our bodies.You don’t have to be a Vegan to enjoy Tofu.I eat all kinds of meat but I still love Tofu and if you are also a fish lover, my recipe for today will surprise you since it could easily pass off as a Fish Cake!I’m not kidding.I should have named it Vegan Fish Cakes instead. And I’ve realized that I got that texture by mixing Tofu with Potatoes, a wise move may I say. And it also proves my point that Tofu is amazing.In both sweet and savory dishes.I’m more of a savory person or a combination of sweet and savory, hence my experiments with Tofu have resulted in dishes like this and this. Let me tell you about these patties.They have some lovely Indian flavors going on with the cumin,coriander and garam masala.The onions,scallions,potatoes and veggies are all sautéed in these spices that make them so aromatic,so delicious. I’ve used frozen mixed vegetables consisting of corn,beans and carrots and steamed them before adding them into the pan.The Tofu is then mixed along with some fresh cilantro and you have a great appetizer for your next party. Make them a bit larger and you have one great tasting burger patty that’s super healthy. Crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside and I like to serve it with some Sweet Red Chili Sauce.So yum.
