Curry Spice Tofu Burger
I love making these tofu burgers as a healthier 'Fakeaway' on a Friday night. They're easy and quick to make, but also taste amazing! Each burger offers 11g protein, so they're an easy way to bump up your protein intake.
Ingredients
- 280g firm tofu*
- 1/4 red onion
- 2 garlic cloves grated
- 2 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1.5 tsp curry powder
- 1/2 tsp chilli powder
- 1/2 tsp nigella seeds
- 2 tbsp tomato puree
- 2 tbsp Fresh coriander
- 4 tbsp plain flour**
- 1 tbsp oil for frying
To serve
- 2 tbsp Geeta’s Mango & Chilli Chutney
- Tomato slices
- 4 burger buns
- 2-4 tbsp Raita (recipe below)
Instructions
- Blend up the tofu in the food process or until you have a texture that resembles ground meat.
- Transfer the ground tofu into a large bowl, then mix in the onions, garlic, ginger, spices, nigella seed, tomato puree and season with salt & pepper.
- Fold in the chopped coriander and flour and shape into 4 burger patties.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan over a low/medium heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes, then flip and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until browned and heated through.
- To assemble the burgers – spread some of the raita dip on the bottom half of the burger buns, then top with the tofu burgers, tomato slices and mango & chilli chutney.
Notes
*Follow tofu pack instructions – I used afirm tofu that didn’t need pressing, but you may need to press your tofu for 30minutes depending on the brand you use.
** Use gram/chickpea flour or gluten-free oat flour for a gluten-free version
