Don’t ask me why this dish is called tofu 65. There are several theories on why the sauce combination, initially used with chikin was called chicken 65. From there vegetarian versions picked up the flavors for paneer 65 and cauliflower 65 (gobi 65 is in Indian Kitchen book).

The flavors have influence from Chinese sweet and sour profile and southern Indian flavors for this delectable thick sauce that is spicy, savory, sweet, with hints of flavors from curry leaves and chilies. It all works! You have to try it #trustindianflavors!

Tofu is battered in a spiced curry leaf and soy sauce batter, then baked. The sauce has large slices of onion and bell pepper with ginger, garlic, soy sauce and sriracha. A bit of sweet to balance it out.
