ABOUT Tofu’s Egg with potato curry RECIPE

Unlike the usual egg curry available at restaurants , I gave a twist by presenting this tofu’s egg with potato curry. In general , paneer is used but as it is a dairy product , I preferred protein rich tofu as it is a plant product and healthier than paneer. Also Tofu is cholesterol free and can be consumed even by diabetics, lactose intolerants etc.
