Start by crumbling the firm tofu into a large mixing bowl, using your hands to break it into small, even pieces.

Add the chopped red onion, minced garlic, and all the spices: cumin, coriander, sumac, dried mint, turmeric, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Incorporate the tomato puree, plain flour or chickpea flour, and fresh parsley, and coriander. Mash everything thoroughly for about 2-3 minutes.

With clean hands, start forming the tofu mixture into small kebabs or patties, roughly 12 in total.

In a large frying pan, heat about half an inch of oil over medium heat. Keep an eye on the temperature.

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the tofu kebabs to the pan, frying each for about 1 minute on each side.

Transfer the cooked kebabs to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil and serve warm.
