Take the Firm tofu and take out the liquid from it. Put it ona paper towel and squeeze the excess water from that putting some heavy thing on that.

Microwave the peas for some time.

Then take a pan and put oil and after the oil is warm enough put some jeera( cumin seeds) and after it splutters put finely chopped onions . 

After the onion turns translucent add finely chopped garlic and crushed ginger( you can also use 1 tsp of ready made ginger garlic paste ) .
