विधि

• मसाला तैयारी: एक छोटे कटोरे में धनिया पाउडर, जीरा पाउडर और अमचूर पाउडर मिलाएं। स्वादानुसार थोड़ा सा लाल मिर्च और नमक डालें। अच्छी तरह मिलाएं और एक तरफ रख दें।
• काजू पेस्ट: 50 ग्राम काजू को रात भर या कम से कम 4 घंटे तक पानी में भिगोकर बारीक पीस लें। इसमें एक चुटकी नमक मिलाएं और 2 घंटे के लिए अलग रख दें।
• टोफू मैरिनेशन: 60 ग्राम टोफू को छोटे क्यूब्स में काट लें। एक कटोरे में, टोफू क्यूब्स को तैयार मसाला मिश्रण के साथ समान रूप से कोट करें। स्वादानुसार एक चुटकी हल्दी और नमक डालें। 1 चम्मच वनस्पति तेल डालें और अच्छी तरह मिलाएँ। मैरीनेट किए हुए टोफू को 2 घंटे के लिए ऐसे ही छोड़ दें।
• टोफू हल्का तलना: एक फ्राइंग पैन में 1 बड़ा चम्मच वनस्पति तेल गरम करें। अदरक-लहसुन पेस्ट को हल्का सा भून लीजिए. मैरीनेट किए हुए टोफू क्यूब्स डालें और हल्का सा भून लें। अंत में एक चुटकी तैयार मसाला छिड़कें।
• सैंडविच असेंबली: सैंडविच ब्रेड के दो स्लाइस लें, अंदर की तरफ काजू चीज़ फैलाएं, काली मिर्च छिड़कें, एक स्लाइस पर मैरीनेट किए हुए टोफू क्यूब्स रखें और सैंडविच बनाने के लिए दूसरे को मोड़ें।
• सैंडविच ग्रिल: एक ग्रिल पैन में हल्की मात्रा में वनस्पति तेल छिड़कें। सैंडविच को दोनों तरफ से सुनहरा भूरा होने तक ग्रिल करें।
