Ingredients
- Cauliflower florets – 1.5 C, blanched in salt water
- Beetroot – 1 C, sliced long , steamed [I steamed them in a MW Oven for 5 min]

Dressing
- Honey – 2 Tbsp
- Lemon juice – 1 Tbsp
- Lemon zest – 1 Tsp, optional
- Salt – to taste
- Red chilli flakes – 1 Tsp
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a pan, and pour the mustard seeds into it once it heats. Add the Dijon mustard paste to this and sauté for 2 min. Sprinkle the salt and red chilli flakes and then place the tofu slices one by one in this pan.
- Mix carefully to not break the tofu slices and to ensure that all the tofu pieces are coated with the mustard paste. Let this cook on a medium flame for 5 min.
- Plate the steamed beet slices and blanched cauliflower florets along with the mustard girdled tofu. Pour the dressing on top and serve hot.
