Ingredients

To Serve:

  • 1 cup cucumber raita
  • 1 head Boston lettuce or iceberg lettuce rinsed and pat dried
  • 1 cup red cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1 cup carrots thinly sliced
  • ½ cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 lime cut into wedges

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a medium pan. Add onions and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on medium high heat stirring frequently. Place a lid on the pan to speed up cooking. Add ginger and garlic cook for a minute. Add tomatoes and mix well. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until tomatoes become soft. Add 2 tablespoons of Shan spice mix. Tip - You can add more spice seasoning in the end after mixing in the tofu for a spicier keema. Lower the heat.
  • Stir in tofu and break it in with a spatula so that it's ground and crumbly. Add salt and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Turn the heat off. Garnish with cilantro.

To serve:

  • Cut the bottom stem of the lettuce so the leaves can be easily separated. If using iceberg lettuce, it is ok if each leaf gets broken into 3 to 4 pieces. Just layer 2 to 3 over each other to form a cup.
  • Add 2 to 3 spoons of tofu keema on the lettuce cups. Garnish with purple cabbage, carrots, and cilantro. Add a squeeze of lime. Add a spoonful of raita and serve.
