Few points to note while making Tofu Bhurji :

• If your Tofu has lot of moisture content , drain out water from it . To do this , place tofu block on a plate. keep another plate on it . Place a weight on the upper plate . You will see that extra water will come out from tofu after few minutes .Discard the water / use the water to knead chapathi .
• The final bhurji should not be too dry . Retain the moistness and mushyness .
• Replace tofu to make Paneer Bhurji .
• If you want you can add few other veggies like carrot / peas etc .
