Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of red lentils
  • 3 cups of boiled water
  • 1 or 2 teasppons of garlic powder
  • 1 or 2 teasppons of onion powder
  • 1 or two 2 teasppons of black salt (to your taste)
  • 1 teaspoon of curry powder (optional)

Method

  1. Boil a pot or kettle of water
  2. Put the red lentils into a large pot or bowl and wash and rinse off the white froth that comes from washing
  3. Add three cups of boiled water onto the washed lentils and mix together, cover and set aside for 30 mins
  4. After 30 minutes pour the lentils into the blender and add all other ingredients
  5. Blend well until all the lentils are a watery paste
  6. Tip the mix into a medium or large pot and on a medium heat stir and keep stirring the mix
  7. The mix will thicken quickly, suggest use a whisk and wooden spoon alternately to stir and get all the lumps out
  8. After about five minutes the mix will be quite thick to the point where the spoon or whisk stays upright in the pot
  9. At this point take off the heat and pour the mix into a ceramic or glass tray then use the back of the spoon to even it out on the top
  10. Place this into the fridge for 2 hours, it should create a medium to firm rubbery tofu.
  11. Cut into little cubes then either panfry or bake with soy sauce and or a little coconut cream or prepare as you would your favourite tofu recipe.
