An Indo-Chinese favorite, Manchurian Tofu is PACKED with flavor and simple ingredients. You can make it the traditional way, which is with cauliflower, but I like to change it up a little bit to get some extra protein in my diet. This gluten free and oil free recipe is super easy to make and is a huge crowd pleaser.

Do I have to use tofu?
Nope. Traditionally, this dish is made with fried cauliflower - I just chose to make it with tofu instead. If you want to use cauliflower and still keep it oil free, you can still bake the cauliflower, just be sure to steam it ahead of time before tossing it in the batter.

Dry or Gravy?
You can really make this either dry or with gravy. Dry is best for snacks and appetizers, whereas gravy is usually best served with rice.
What's the best kind of tofu to use?
There's a variety of tofu out there that you can use for many different recipes. Whenever I'm baking or air frying tofu to get that crispy texture, I ALWAYS use extra firm tofu. It's the best kind of tofu to use for dishes where it's the meat substitute. You'll have to use a tofu press or heavy object to remove the extra moisture to get the best result.

Do I have to bake it?
If you want this to be completely oil free, then you can bake it or air fry it - either way works really well. If you are not concerned about making this oil free, then you can pan fry it as well.
