Tofu is a versatile ingredient with many health benefits and is an excellent
source of amino acids,iron,calcium and other micro-nutrients.Tofu can easily
absorb the flavors of the ingredients it's paired with and works well in a variety of cooking methods...either as a simple stir fry,rice,curry or just in a soup. Being vegetarians, I always find ways to make my family get enough proteins. Tofu being a great alternative to the usual paneer. Its much lighter and available in different types. I always prefer the Extra firm Organic Tofu.
This is a very quick recipe that can served as a full meal by itself.
