And along with onion, I also add tomatoes, finely chopped.<\/p>\n Spices<\/strong> – I used black mustard seeds, a little bit of turmeric for color, chili powder for heat and rasam powder for flavor boost.<\/p>\n Herbs<\/strong> – I used fresh curry leaves at the end to add that refreshing aroma, and without curry leaves it will not be south Indian style tofu!<\/p>\n Garlic and Green Chili <\/strong>– You can avoid both garlic and green chili, but for me, the flavor combo of garlic with green chili adds warmth and mild heat.<\/p>\n Tofu isn\u2019t just tasty\u2014it\u2019s a nutrient powerhouse<\/strong>!
