Marinated Tofu

One of the yummiest tofu recipe I have ever tried!!!! I was watching Vijay's TV's kitchen superstar show and saw this interesting peanut sauce recipe. Then was surfing online to find a clear recipe, then randomly thought of marinated tofu and finally it landed in this kind of recipe :-) More pictures...Marinated Tofu
Recipe:
* For the sauce :
   - Grind 5 or 6 red chillies,2 garlic pieces, little sugar and salt for the full dish
   - Add 2 cups water and let it boil for few mins and turn off.
   - then add some tamarind and jaggery water to it, mix well.
* In the meantime, filter the tofu water and cut tofu into shapes and let it dry in muslin cloth.
* Heat non-stick flat pan, no oil needed. Dry fry Tofu, in medium flame, both sides for few mins.
* Take a flat container, add the tofu and sauce. (add sauce as much as it needs to soak, save the rest)
* Marinate in fridge overnight or atleast 6hrs.
* Then add big chunks of onions in tava with little oil, fry for few mins
* And add the tofu with the sauce, then let it cook for few mins, till the water dries off.
* Add roasted peanuts whole or crushed depending on your taste, turn off.
Serve with little salad. Can be an appetizer or main meal.
