Tips, food safety & substitutions
Press the tofu between paper towels before frying so it turns crisp and golden. Food safety: eggs must be fully boiled; serve hot. Allergens: contains egg and soy. Substitute: use paneer instead of tofu, or skip the soy sauce for a purely desi masala. Nutrition figures are estimates.
