Ingredients
Main
400 grams tofu
Others
 |
| Firm tofu |
25 grams parsley
1 green chili
3 cloves garlic
5 grams ginger
75 grams bread crumbs
100 grams potato
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon pepper powder
5 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter
 |
| Boiled potato, onion,garlic,parsley,and green chili |
Burger
Ingredients
1 tomato sliced thin
Salad leaves
Sliced cheese
Chili paste
Pepper sauce
Preparation
If the tofu is not extra firm, loosen it and fry it in 2 tablespoon oil to evaporate the excess water. If you do not dry it, the patty will be soggy.
Boil the potato and peel it. You can cook the potato in the microwave. Prick the potato slightly with a fork. Add 1 tablespoon of water and cook it in the microwave for 2 minutes. Turn the potato and heat it for another 2 minutes. The potato will be cooked and it will be soft. Let it cool and then peel the skin.
Method
In a food processor grind lightly the onion, parsley, green chili, garlic and ginger. Do not make a fine paste but a little coarse paste. Remove the ground mixture.
 |
| Ingredients in the food processor |
In a small frying pan or wok add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Heat the oil and add the mixture and fry for about 5 minutes or till the water is evaporated. If it is not dry it will make the patty soggy.
 |
| Tofu mixed with other ingredients |
Now add the fried mixture back to the food processor and add the potatoes and tofu. Pulse it a couple of times to mix everything well.
Put the mixture into a bowl. Add 2 tablespoon of butter or vegetable oil. Add all other ingredients and mix well. Make one patty and see if it crumbles. If it crumbles it needs some binding agent. We are going to use bread crumbs as our binding agent. You can use all purpose flour instead of bread crumbs. If it does not crumble then you can omit the bread crumbs or flour.
|
| Patty dough |
Add the bread crumbs and mix well. If the mixture is too dry add one or two tablespoon of water because we dried our ingredients and tofu by frying them. Now you should have a firm paste.
Divide the paste into balls of equal size. Flatten them thin. If you make them thick the inside will not get cooked well.
 |
| Flattened Patty |
In a skillet or frying pan add a little oil and pan fry the patties till they are golden brown. I fried them on a cast iron griddle. It will take about 6 minutes on each side.
Now assemble the burger. Toast the bun in the same skillet or griddle.

Tofu balls are an excellent snack for evening tea. It can also be an accompaniment to a rice dish or a meat or fish dish.
We use the same ingredients as for tofu patties.
We prepare the tofu mixture exactly as we did for the patties. We want the mixture to be as dry as possible as in the case of patties. If not tofu balls will be soggy.
We make uniform sized balls out of the mixture.
