Instructions:

Prepare the Spice Mixture: In a bowl, combine the garlic, salt, coriander, and optional turmeric with a little water to create a smooth paste.

Fry the Tofu: Heat oil in a frying pan until hot. Gently place the marinated tofu in the oil, frying until golden brown and crispy, making sure to turn occasionally for even cooking.
-
Drain and Cool: Once cooked, remove the tofu from the oil and place it on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
-
Final Fry: Flip the tofu so that the inner part faces outward, then return it to the hot oil for a second fry until it is fully crispy.
