WHAT IS TOFU AND ITS HEALTH BENEFITS?
Tofu, also known as bean curd (soya paneer), is a food prepared by coagulating soy milk and then pressing the resulting curds into solid white blocks of varying softness; it can be silken, soft, firm, or extra firm.-Source Wiki
Tofu is a great source of protein, it is also packed with calcium, selenium, manganese, iron, and magnesium.
I have used extra firm tofu in this recipe, but feel free to use any kind of soya like soft or silken tofu.
