Рецепт Tofu and Peas Curry (Tofu Matar) #SundaySupper
Meatless meals give you the opportunity to appreciate veggies and its a good idea to go meat free some times during the week.I find it a good excuse to make lots of veggies for my kids and they actually enjoy it.And if you like Indian food there are a zillion vegetarian recipes that you can make for every mealtime.And if you omit butter,ghee or paneer then they’re also vegan!Our Sunday Supper team has decided to go meatless today and I’m so excited.
We love a good curry for our dinner and this one will totally blow you away with layers of delicious flavors with the ginger,garlic and all the spices.This dish is traditionally made using Paneer,but I’ve used Tofu since I’m watching my saturated fat intake these days.Tofu is not only packed with protein but has no saturated fat and is the perfect alternative to Paneer.I shallow fry the Tofu until pale golden and that gives it a lovely texture.
The Tofu takes on all the deliciousness and gets coated in the sauce along with the peas that add a lovely vibrant color to the dish.Scoop it with Roti,Naan or just plain rice.If you love curry then this recipe can be the base for many of your dishes.Substitute the Tofu for your favorite vegetable and enjoy a curry night in the comfort of your own home.
