TOFU COOKING & RECIPES

Tofu is a delicate, taste-neutral food.

Tofu marinates very well, absorbing flavors of all curries, masalas it is used in. The softer the tofu, the better the marination. The firmer the tofu, the easier the easier the tossing.

BREAKFAST IDEAS

1.   Tofu sabzi (use Premium Tofu or Vacuum packed Tofu) – matar tofu, palak tofu, tofu masala, tofu chilli, etc. a gravy with peas or palak. Replace paneer with tofu in matar paneer, palak paneer, etc. as per normal recipe.
