Another winner, Mirjam! I scaled down to 1 servings, so I had to make a lot of estimates with the spice amounts, and I think I might have used too much of red chili powder, coz this was one hot dish! I used salsa instead of picante sauce, which I didn't have, and omitted the garlic. Again, the tofu absorbed the flavours like sponge. I used the filling inside rotis and had to use toothpicks to hold them together as there was a LOT of the filling! The tang of the sauce was perfect with the spicy filling, and the crispiness of the rotis. I'll definitely make this again!
