Indian pan with peppers and tofu is just right when you want something different. When looking for a quick dish, people usually reach for the classic pasta, forgetting how many simple and quick recipes there actually are. I still had some peppers in the fridge that absolutely had to go and immediately took the opportunity to make something Indian out of them. Beautiful spices, great colors and a slight spiciness. Together with rice, it makes a great, wholesome dish. Let’s get started together.
Indian pan with peppers and tofu
Let’s start with the garnish today. I use light basmati rice, mainly because it looks better in the photos. From a nutritional point of view, this is not the most sensible statement, but the eye also eats. At your house, you can also use other side dishes, I’m thinking whole grain basmati, quinoa, or even my delicious cauliflower rice.
The preparation is done in two steps, sautéing the tofu and making the paprika vegetables. I use a classic tofu natural, which I cut into cubes and fry in a little oil. Then I take it out of the pan again and continue in the same pan with the vegetables. Sauté onion, add cumin, paprika, chili, coriander and briefly fry the spices. Tomato paste, red bell bell pepper, yellow bell bell pepper, ginger, lemon juice, and coconut blossom sugar. That’s all, stir, cover and simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes.
TIP: The spiciness is a major factor in this dish. I use two small Bird Eye chilies, which provide the ideal level of heat for me. Here you can decide for yourself which chili is right for you. There is now an infinitely large selection.

Other than that, there’s really not much that can go wrong with this simple Indian skillet dish. For decoration, I use black sesame seeds and fresh cilantro. Parsley is also a good choice here, depending on what you have at home.
