  • good pinch of salt 3 to 4 tablespoons raw sugar, or to taste
  • few drops of kewra essence or rose water (optional)

  • 2 saffron strands

Method

  1. Water, as needed Pistachio slivers or almond slivers, for garnish
  2. Make the saffron cream: Blend all the ingredients until smooth and pour into a bowl You might have to blend a couple of cycles so the cashews get well blended
  3. Taste and adjust sweet and chill Make the dumplings: Cut the tofu into slices and place between paper towels
  4. Keep a heavy weight on the towels for 30 minutes to remove as much moisture as possible.
  5. Knead the tofu in a bowl, by pressing and dragging for 2 to 3 minutes You will be able to feel the tofu get smoother
  6. Add in the cornstarch and saffron and mix in by pressing and dragging Shape into 3/4 inch balls, lightly flatten, and set aside
  7. Prepare a saucepan or steamer with a well-fitting lid Place the discs on a parchment-lined steamer basket or plate
  8. Place it in the steamer when the water is rapidly boiling
  9. Steam for 10 minutes or until the balls expand a little and feel chewy to touch
  10. Remove the balls from the steamer and let cool for a few minutes
  11. Add the balls to the saffron cream
  12. Lightly press the balls with a spoon and release so they absorb the cream
  13. Chill for an hour or overnight before serving
