Chickpea - ½ cup
Salt - to taste
Water - 2 ½ cups
Ghee / Clarified Butter - a little
Method:
1. Soak chickpeas overnight in water and drain soaked water.
2. Add 2 ½ cups water to this
3. Transfer to a blender and grind smooth.
4. You can even add ginger and chillies to this for extra flavour.
5. Now transfer this to a non-sticking pan on medium low flame and keep stirring.
6. Add salt to taste to this.
7. Keep stirring till it begins to thicken to a paste, this may take about 20 to 25 minutes.
8. Now the paste sticks to the spatula and hardly moves when you tilt the pan.
9. Turn the heat to low now, stir the paste for another 2 to 3 minutes.
10. Transfer this paste to a container and smoothen out the top.
11. Let this set for around 1 hour in fridge.
12. After one hour, the tofu has set.
13. The tofu easily pulls away from the sides.
14. Slice the tofu with a knife.
15. If it has not set properly, then your tofu might still be raw and you must not eat it. So cook it a little longer with a little more water and try again.
16. Cut the tofu to cubes.
17. Add a little ghee on a pan on low flame and transfer the cut tofu cubes.
18. Keep turning them until they look crispy.
