This ‘Tofu curry’ is made in a typical Indian style way. Tofu chunks simmered in a rich onion-tomato based gravy with some spices soak up all the beautiful flavors and the assortment of whole spices make it truly delectable and aromatic.

‘Tofu’ also known as ‘Bean Curd’ has a subtle flavor and can be used in savory and sweet dishes. It is often seasoned or marinated to suit the dish. The flavor is more or less like ‘Paneer’ (Indian Cottage Cheese)….. and has a low calorie count. So, if you’re on a ‘Vegan’ diet, then tofu is a good substitute to ‘Paneer’.



For a special family meal serve this tofu masala curry with eggplants in hot n sour sesame sauce along with some naan, laccha parantha or fried rice. Do not miss to begin with a healthy starter soup like Lemon coriander soup flavored with garlic n pepper !
