# Preparation Steps:

Place the drained and prepared tofu into a large mixing bowl. Crumble it into small pieces using your hands.

Add chopped red onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, sumac, dried mint, turmeric, chilli powder, salt, black pepper, tomato purée, chickpea flour or plain flour, chopped parsley, and chopped coriander to the tofu.

Using clean hands, thoroughly mash and mix all ingredients until a cohesive mixture forms that holds its shape when pressed.

Portion the mixture and form into small kebab shapes or round patties. Avoid making them too large to ensure they hold together well. Aim for approximately 12 mini kebabs.

Heat a small amount of neutral oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Fry the kebabs for about 1 minute per side, turning to ensure all surfaces are evenly browned.

Transfer kebabs to a plate. Serve hot with rice, pitta bread, salad, and a side of hummus or tahini sauce.
