Ingredients :
375 g block firm tofu
1/2 cup rice flour
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoons ground cardamom
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 cup water oil, for deep frying

How to make :
Drain tofu, cut into 1 cm thick slices.
Combine flour, coriander, cardamom and garlic in a bowl, add water, stir until smooth.
Heat oil in a pan. Dip tofu slices into spice mixture, coat thickly.
Lower slices into heated oil, three at a time, cook on medium heat for 1 minute on each side or until crisp and golden brown, drain on absorbent paper. Repeat with remaining slices.

Tofu is available from specialty Asian stores and health food stores. Serve tofu with stir-fried vegetables and any sauce of your choice, e.g. peanut, chilli or soy sauce, the tofu soaks up the flavours.
