I tried this recipe today and the gravy was very tasty. However my tofu was so much rubbery that I had to keep the tofu aside and eat only the gravy . Is there any way to avoid rubberiness in tofu. Also is it possible to do something with the already cooked tofu.
@Haritha Bolisettysoak the tofu in hot water and then add it so it will be soft
What is the substitute for cream
@dhivya swaminathanyou can use milk mixed with some cornflour
Thanks for the recipe, very easy to follow and turned out pretty good for the first time!
