Few of my readers had doubt in tofu, they keep on sending me questions about tofu. Many of them cannot find it in their place. So i decided to create homemade tofu and it is much more easier and quicker. Many of you think that making tofu is so hard and needs so much effort, but actually speaking it is not a big deal..It is so much simple and easy to make your own.
First thing you have to make is Soy milk. If you can get your hands on storebought soy milk then great, you can use those. But for all those who cannot get soy milk, don't worry. I have the recipe for you.
CHECK OUT MY HOMEMADE SOY MILK.
While making this, you will get the water which is left from the curdled milk..That is called as whey water,it is so healthy..you can use it to make all kinds of stuffs..Don't throw that away..You can make rasam out of it or use that water to knead chapati dough.You can use that in your dishes..So hope this helps out...So try it and let me know what you think..

Cooking Time : 5 mins
Resting Time : 30 mins to 1 hour
Makes : 250 grams
Water - ¼ cup
(Instead of lemon juice or vinegar, if using them, you will need only 1 tblspn to 2 tblspn)
Take lemon juice in a bowl, add in ¼ cup of water and mix well. Set aside.
Now tie it like a bundle, and place a heavy thing over it. Press it often to remove the water as much as possible. I left it for 1 hour and i got a beautiful block of tofu.

4)You can use this tofu in all the recipes which calls for tofu.

Oh, this recipe is simple and I'm sure that tasty because I have never tasted it but I cannot cook it because my child has an allergy. I thought that it's a huge problem but after reading http://stopallergyguide.com/ I understood that it's not 🙂
