Tofu in Tomato Gravy

Tofu or soyabean curd has high proteins and low fat. It has little flavor or smell fn its own, so it can be used for making gravy dishes, snacks or even desserts, just like cottage cheese or paneer. I made this tofu version of shahi paneer and it came out very well. Here I am sharing the recipe with pictures...

Tofu - 200 gms, cut in long cubes
