Tofu Crumble

Many of my readers are very fond of tofu and have asked me to suggest more ways of using tofu. Here's a great way to prepare tofu loaded with veggies. You can serve this with rotis and also a great way to stuff a chillah. In my next post I will provide the recipe for chickpea flour( besan) chillah (crepes).

So here's a simple and yet nutritious recipe with your favourite tofu.

Tofu Jalfrezi

I'm off to a "big fat Indian wedding". We have already missed some of the pre-nutial ceremonies and all the fun attached to it, since Joel couldn't miss too much of school. But we are looking foward to having a blast at the wedding and family time. See you after a week, till then...

Jalfrezi is a spicy Indian preparation dating back to the times of the British Raj. Having tried Paneer Jalfrezi I thought of trying it out with tofu. Have to say it tasted even better! So here's an Spicy Indian twist to tofu.

2 tbs oil

freshly chopped coriander
Preparation-

• Peel onion and cut into thin slices, separate the layers.
• Peel ginger and cut into juliennes.
• Wash green chilli and chop.
• Cut tomatoes and capsicum into long slices.
