Scrambled Tofu in Cabbage

This recipe is a ONE MEAL DISH.A healthy version because Tofu is used in this.The thought of making this dish came because Tofu was left in the fridge.Myself and my daughter decided to make scrambled Tofu.
She said she would do the rest of the recipe with it.I browsed in search of Tofu scramble recipe.I followed it with slight variation and am posting the same here.Later my daughter made it one meal dish which she keeps preparing following Tarla dalal's book.That is with Paneer made as a bhurji and stuffed in  cabbage.Today she used the tofu scramble instead of panneer and made a wrap.Here is the recipe for cabbage wrap.

INGREDIENTS

Tofu450gms
Onion1 no.
Broccoli2 small heads
Garlic2 cloves
Haldi (Turmeric)½ tsp
Oil1 tbsp
Curry Powder1 tbsp
Cabbage leaves for the wrap4 no.s
SaltTo taste






METHOD

Drain any water from the tofu by pressing it between paper towels,placing a heavy plate on top.
Then crumble into small pieces. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet/pan over medium heat, then add the garlic
and onion, saute for a few minute until they soften. Stir in the broccoli and curry powder.(we used tomato instead of broccoli)
Then stir in the tofu, salt and turmeric, keep stiring so that the spices are distributed throughout.Cover and cook for 4-5 min. until the tofu is heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning .

For the wrap:
Put the cabbage leaves in boiling salted water.
After 2 min, take them out and fill with the scrambled tofu.

NOTE:
The same can be made as a sizzler.
Heat a tava until red hot.
When you want to serve, put a large leaf of cabbage (or lettuce) on the tava so that the food will not stick.
Then, place the stuffed cabbage wrap on the sizzling plate/tava.Mix one tablespoon oil and one tablespoon water and spread over the stuffed cabbage to get the sizzling effect.
