Steamed Tofu Dumplings with a Hot and Tangy Sauce

Here is a healthy snack that you can make in a jiffy. The original recipe was with paneer but I had to settle for tofu since I did not have any paneer on hand.

Ingredients

Sauce

White vinegar – 2 tbsps

Tomato ketchup – 1-2 tbsps according to taste

Red chilli paste – 1 tsp or to taste (I used Siracha chilli sauce)

Dumplings

Tofu – ½ cup

Finely chopped vegetables – ¼ cup

Dried dill leaves – 1 tbsp

Rava /sooji (semolina) – 2 tsps

Rolled oats – 2 tsps

Baking powder – ¼ tsp

Salt to taste

Method

Sauce

Mix all the ingredients in a pan and bring to a boil, while stirring continuously. Simmer on low heat for 4-5 minutes, take it off the heat and keep aside to cool.

Dumplings

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Divide into equal sized balls and steam for about 6-7 minutes (I steamed them in my idly stand).  They get a little sticky if placed together, so do not overcrowd. When slightly cooled, remove from the steamer and serve with the hot and tangy sauce. Bon Appétit.
