Dab dry a block of extra firm tofu..cut into thin fingers. Take about 1/3 cup AP flour, add a pinch of salt, and enough water to make a medium thick batter. Dip the tofu fingers in the batter and coat with panko. Heat oil in a frying pan, and shallow fry the tofu fingers. Server with ketchup mixed with soy sauce (or, if you’re an adventurous toddler like M., you can have it with Shrikhand)
This one is in memory of one of my best friends' mom....S. used to bring this in her lunchbox and I ate it all up....Today I wanted to make it for my daughter, so I called up S.'s older sister for the recipe..this one's for you, Masi! Chop Bhinda in slices. Heat oil (slightly more, cause it's bhindi). Add mustard seeds, a few methi seeds (rai:methi=4:1), a pinch of hing and turmeric. Add bhinda, stir and cook on a medium flame without covering. Once it's almost cooked, add red chilli powder, dhana-jeeru powder, salt and a bit of sugar to taste. Finish cooking. This recipe transports me right back to that corner house in Kharkar Ali...
