    Tofu Matar Curry

    Tofu is a great source of protein to include in your meal when you are dieting. This curry is a great side dish to have wit roti, tofu makes a great substitute for paneer which is not advisable to consume when you are dieting.

    Normally tofu is bland, and it just absorbs all the flavours which you add into it. And pressure cooking the curry makes the tofu really soft and the tofu picks up the flavour better.

      Hi Aarthi,

      Thank you for the recipe. It looks yummy. However would like to know if the dish will turn out to be sour as onions are not added. I have a packet of Tofu lying in my fridge. Your reply will greatly help me in going ahead and preparing your recipe

      Thanks in advance for your reply
