This is simple Tofu & vegetables gravy I made with chapatis, Of course I do not need to tell that Tofu is a very healthy soya product as we know soya is rich in proteins, soya milk is made into Tofu. Tofu is quite firm like paneer and absorbs the all the spices in which it is used, my children like Tofu more than paneer, Particularly my son always tries to throw paneer in his subjis, and I always keep an eye on him!!!. Here is the recipe....
