Tips:-



1) Always prepare this dish at least 1-2 hours in advance so that there is enough time for the tofu to absorb all the flavors.



2) You can fry the tofu in little bit of oil before adding to the sabzi/stir fry. ( this step is optional).



3)Use firm or extra firm tofu for our simple tofu recipes. If your tofu seems too soft, wrap in a dishtowel or paper towels, and press it with a brick or book or something heavy to squeeze out excess water, for 5 - 10 minutes



4) Any leftover stirfry can be stored in a air tight container in the refrigerator.
