Tofu Tawa Masala / Easy Tofu Sabzi - Easy Tofu Recipes

I always look forward to try Tofu Recipes and this Tofu Tawa Masala is one of my recent try after Chatakedar Tofu. I simply tweaked the Paneer Tawa Masala recipe and made this Tofu Tawa Masala. Paneer Tawa Masala is a popular Punjabi sabzi, that is easy to make spicy curry with creamy texture. I recreated the famous North Indian Masala with Tofu and also prepared it as a complete Vegan dish. Instead of cream here, I used ground Cashew nut paste which resulted in rich and creamy taste and texture. And also compared to paneer dish this is low fat and protein rich. My family love Tofu and I started using it regularly in our diet and very rarely buy Paneer only for kids. Now off to the recipe...

Oats Pesarattu / Oats Pesarattu With Tofu Filling

Today's recipe is Andhra Special Pesarattu / Mung Bean Dosa, a traditional Andhra Breakfast recipe which is more nutritious and healthy. I added few more healthy stuffs like oats, brown rice & Tofu to make it even more healthy, protein & fiber rich breakfast with low carb and calories. I was looking for a protein rich and less carb recipes since my Fitness Consultant suggested to fill my meal platter with more protein, less carb food and add more veggies and fruits. Lunch will manage with cooked dals/legumes/egg and as usual veggies n fruits. Dinner n Breakfast is my big deal, can't get any idea on filling my breakfast platter with more protein n less carb. For low calorie and low carb foods you have tons of options like whole grain, millets but for protein, i don't get much so Friends do share your ideas n suggestion if u know protein rich n low carb recipes or veggies.

Tofu Tikka - Easy Tofu Recipes

Usually i make curry, stir fry or fried rice with Tofu but this time wanted to make some easy appetizer or snack with Tofu. My first choice was any Chinese Starter but due to lack of few ingredients  i finally ended up with this Tofu Tikka. Tikka is a popular Indian appetizer mostly made using meat/chicken with the marinade of Yogurt & Indian spices combo. For a vegetarian option Paneer is commonly used in tikka preparations. Here, i used Extra Firm Tofu to make it healthy & Yummy. It can be grilled or baked in oven or u can cook in stove top also. I toasted them in an iron skillet, the tikka came out so perfect and tofu tasted so good with spices blend. This is one of the easy & simple appetizer for any get together/Potluck/any party. Sure a crowd pleaser , give it a try and u will like it.

Tofu Mutter Masala / Tofu Peas Curry - Vegan & Healthy Side Dish!!

Hi friends due to some personal issues couldn't able to post any recipes here. Hope at least by this week will be regular to blogging (but not sure i can able to do it). Missed all your lovely recipes n but kept watching few of your recipes in FB but not bale to comment on any of your space. Plz spare me am getting back to routine after a small injury so it takes some time to join u all. Hope u understand me n my position :)
Now coming to today's recipe, completely a vegan, healthy n yummy side dish using Tofu and Green Peas. I rarely buy/make paneer for kids and mostly use Tofu in place of paneer. Tofu is rich in protein, vegan n low in calories. But Tofu doesn't tastes so good like paneer if u add it as such or plain tofu, so i used to toast/bake it with spices before adding it to the curry, by this way it tastes crisp, spicy n yummy with the curry. Give it a try, u will love it.
