  6. Add the onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until soft and lightly golden. Stir in the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  7. Stir in the turmeric, then add the tofu, the remaining 2 g of salt and the water. Cook, stirring gently, for 5 to 6 minutes until the tofu is hot, evenly golden and the water has cooked off.
  8. Take the skillet off the heat and stir in the lime juice and half of the cilantro.
  9. Divide the tofu bhurji and roasted potatoes among 4 plates and scatter the remaining half of the cilantro over the top.
