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. Check out My Homemade Tofu Recipe.
