About
| This tofu, based on the Burmese variety typically made from chickpea flour, is very quick and easy to make from store cupboard ingredients. It can be adapted to use other pulse flours as Victoria has done here with green pea flour. |
The fermentation step (leaving the batter to sit overnight) can be skipped if you’re in a rush. But this extra step does improves the flavour, texture and nutritional availability.
This recipe makes a firm tofu that can be used in much the same way as a firm soy tofu. But unlike soy tofu it has a wonderfully smooth, pillowy interior when pan fried or baked, though it can be a little tricky to cook in a one-pot stir fry. Victoria suggests pan frying the tofu separately then tossing it in with the other ingredients at the end.
The tofu can be flavoured with different spices, by incorporating into the batter when cooking it out. So have a play around!

A fragrant and comforting Mejadra-style dish featuring earthy lentils and basmati rice, topped with crispy fried onions and served with a zesty garlic yoghurt.
An enriched, festive loaf inspired by the Tuscan pan co’ santi. This deeply flavourful bread is studded with walnuts and raisins, scented with rosemary and fennel, and features the nutty depth of wholemeal emmer flour.
Middle Eastern ijeh - or eggah - is a herby, vegetable-packed fritter, similar to an omelette or frittata. Soft, fragrant and deeply nourishing, it’s a recipe that celebrates simple ingredients elevated with plenty of fresh herbs and warming spices. Cooked slowly until golden on both sides, it’s perfect served warm with a squeeze of lemon and a spoonful of tangy yoghurt.
