Mixed Vegetables with Tofu

0 comments
I made this Tofu sabzi few weeks back.I had  Tofu  quite a few times in Thai and Chinese recipes and loved the taste, so thought of giving it a try myself.It doesn't taste like Paneer but still good and yes its a rich source of protein. Tofu or Bean Curd is made from Soy Milk and is high in protein. We had this Sabzi with Chapati. So for all Tofu lovers out there can try this Mix Veg Tofu Sabzi


In Pan add oil , once warm add mustard, cumin, sesame seeds, bay leaf , 1 inch cinnamon and 2 whole peppers, stir it for about 2 minutes on a slow flame.



Now add onion , green chili , ginger and garlic to this mixture along with little salt and cook till onions become translucent.


Once this is done add all the vegetables and other spices to this. Mix well and let it cook for about 8-10 mins  by covering it with a lid on a medium flame till all vegetables are cooked.


Finally add cubed tofu pieces to these veggies and stir fry for about 5 mins.
