Notes

STORAGE
You can store it in the refrigerator for 3-5 days in an air-tight container. Or you can also freeze them. Freeze the tofu bhurji in a freezer-safe container or bags like ziptops. Freeze the burji in the freezer for 1-2 months.
TIPS
  1. You can press the tofu to remove excess water before adding it to the skillet.
  2. You can make fresh onion-tomato masala, or you can also use a frozen one too.
  3. Add peas and bell pepper to more crunch. You can also add spinach too in the recipe.
  4. Add spices, or you can also add sauces of your choice, like hot sauce, etc., as per your liking.
  5. You can add some lemon juice for some tangy flavor.
Do I need to press Tofu for the recipe?
If you can, press the tofu in the tofu press for 10-15 minutes to remove excess moisture from the tofu. But if you don't have time, you can make it without it. You just need to cook a little longer.
