Cook time: 20 minutes
INGREDIENTS
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 brown onion, finely diced
- 1 x 450g firm tofu
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp garlic paste
- 1 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp curry powder

INSTRUCTIONS:
-
Prepare the Onion: Finely dice the brown onion.
-
Sauté the Onion: Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Fry the onion until it turns golden brown.
-
Crumble the Tofu: Using your hands, crumble the tofu directly into the pan. Use a spatula to break it down further.
-

Season the Mixture: Add the nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, and curry powder, stirring to combine.
