[ShivShanth]

Hi,
I live in the US. I would love to try out tofu recipes. When I went to the stores I found so many varieties of Tofu. Which kind should we buy?

[Kz]

ShivShanth, Buy firm tofu which is good to substitute for paneer.

Hi all,

I substitute tofu for coconut in most of the recipes. Our spices makes it seem just like coconut and people will not find any difference even if you tell them. I have made avial, mor-kulambu, non-veg gravies and even kurma. Even for coconut chutney, I mix 1/2 coconut and 1/2 tofu. Only thing is we have to reduce the hottness level a bit since tofu will not reduce the hottness level as coconut does. I use reduced fat firm tofu and it is much healthier than coconut.

I just do this- stir fry boiled Tofu(& excess water squeezed out) Onions, carrots, beans & beetroot(all sliced into long pieces)- add a pinch each of salt, turmeric powder, corriander & chilli powders. Add a spoon of oil, cook covered till done- Garnish corriander leaves
