Coating tofu with a mixture of potato starch and curry powder, then pan-frying until golden brown to create a deliciously chewy texture and subtle curry aroma—this is a standout tofu pancake dish.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Cooking tips

  • Since curry powder can burn easily, use low or medium-low heat to fry slowly and preserve color and aroma.
  • Do not let the coated tofu sit too long after starching, as it may become soggy—fry immediately after coating for a crisp exterior and chewy interior.
  • The finished sauce pairs well with steamed seaweed or other fried dishes, making it a versatile all-purpose condiment.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a chewy, fragrant twist on regular tofu pancakes.
  • Parents seeking a mild, savory tofu side dish kids will love.
  • Home cooks wanting to quickly prepare a main dish with simple ingredients.
