Tofu Bhurji

Last Modified: April 22, 2015

Its only in the recent times that i ve been stocking on Tofu. We ( pardon me..) I am not a health freak. Where as Mr.P is a giant of a health freak. ( I hope you get the quirk here..) But sometime back, i did eat some tofu and i got hooked on to the taste. Although the first time i bought tofu, it was disastrous. I bought Mori Nu silken tofu back then and tried using it in a pulao. You can imagine the catastrophe. So for all those people experimenting with tofu for the first time, Silken Tofu is something that is used as an egg replacer or is sometimes used in puddings. But the firm tofu is used in place of indian cottage cheese or paneer in the recent times. Having cleared that, how can i not share this easy and yummy tofu bhurji recipe.

There are many versions of bhurji out there and it is usually made with paneer. But for vegans and the weight conscious, this is truly a blessing along with its added attractions of taste and flavor. And above everything, it s something that you can whip up on a night when every bone in your body is screaming at you to just snuggle up in your bed.

Recipe For Tofu Bhurji
( An easy side dish made with tofu and assorted veggies)

Green peas fresh or frozen ¼ cup
Coriander cumin powder 1 tsp
