Tofu and Chickpea Pilaf |
|
Serves: 6 Print this Recipe(Tofu aur Channae ka Pullao) Category: Vegetarian Pilafs, Vegan Makes 6 to 8 servings This dish is generally made with paneer cheese, and you can, indeed, do so if you wish to. But if late, I've been making it with tofu, which is made similarly to paneer, but with soy milk. This healthful dish has a lovely combination of textures. The tofu gives it a smooth, silky quality, while the chickpeas offer a satisfying heartiness in every mouthful. 1 1/4 cups basmati rice, sorted and washed in 3 to 4 changes of water 2 1/3 cups water 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, dry-roasted and coarsely ground + 1 teaspoon __Dry-Roasting Nuts and Seeds ..........Click the Edit tab and select this entry to learn more. 2 tablespoons peanut oil 4 whole dried red chili peppers, such as chile de arbol 2 cloves fresh garlic (large), thinly sliced 1 stick cinnamon (1-inch) 3 black cardamom pods, crushed lightly to break the skin 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground ajwain seeds 2 cups canned chickpea, drained and rinsed 1 1/2 cups extra-firm tofu, or paneer cheese, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste 2 to 3 scallion, thinly sliced 1 small tomato, finely chopped 1. In a medium bowl, soak the rice in the water, about 30 minutes. Prepare 1 teaspoon cumin seeds. 2. Heat the oil in a large nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat and stir the red chili peppers, garlic, cinnamon, and cardamom pods, 1 minute. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon cumin seeds and ajwain seeds, then mix in the chickpeas and cook until golden, about 3 minutes. 3. Add the tofu (or paneer cheese) and salt, and cook, stirring, another 2 minutes. Then mix in the rice with the water it was soaking in. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the pan (partially at first, until the foam subsides, then snugly), and cook until the rice is done, about 10 to 15 minutes. Do not stir the rice while it cooks. 4. Remove from the heat and let the rice rest undisturbed about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, then carefully mix in the scallions and tomatoes, sprinkle the dry-roasted cumin seeds on top, and serve. From "1,000 Indian Recipes." Copyright 2002 by Neelam Batra.
