Green and red very pretty, good recipe with tofu
Tofu Manchurian looks good. Hey! Its a good idea to drain the tofu under some weight for at least half an hour for it to marinate even better. I have also had success in putting the tofu at 400 degrees F in the oven for 15 mins. instead of frying. I am going to try your recipe(with the modifications ;-) ).
Healthy repacement of paneer... looking delicious priya..
This is quite a healthy one, I love Tofu
Priya, I was just thinking that I never make stuff with tofu.There are so many things to do with tofu.
Was wondering what will be cooking here... Tofu manchurian??? mmm color looks divine... Perfect side...

Tofu manchurain looks delicious. I made Tofu Masala yesterday.I do the same for marinating.
Tofu has replaced paneer in our home. It is not as tasty as the paneer but is a very good healthy option.
Looks great Priya..I made a tikka fry last week..But mine was not really firm..had to take so much care not to break it..Loved this one..:)
I made manchurian with paneer some days back..even I prefer tofu..but it is not available in the nearby store..thanks for the entry
Looks so good, Priya! I appreciate the things you cook - truly world cuisine!!
