Ingredients
 
 

  • 450g firm tofu prepared according to pack instructions
  • 1/4 red onion finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1 1/2 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp sumac
  • 1 tsp dried mint
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp chilli powder
  • 1/2-1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp tomato puree
  • 65g plain flour/chickpea flour
  • 15g fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 15g fresh coriander finely chopped
  • Oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Break up the tofu into small pieces into a large bowl, then add the remaining ingredients.
  • Use your hand to mash everything up together until you have a mixture that holds when shaping.
  • Shape into small kebabs in the palm of your hand. You also have the option of shaping them into round patties. Don't make them too big or they won't hold together as well. I made 12 mini kebab shapes.
  • Heat a little bit of neutral oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry for a minute or so, then turn them over and do the same until all sides are browned.
  • Serve with rice/pitta bread, salad and hummus or tahini sauce.

Notes

You can also bake them in a 180C/160C fan oven for 25-30 minutes, but they won't taste as good as they do when fired!
