Tofu Curry

Tofu is nothing but paneer/cheese made with soy milk.This acts as a good substitute for paneer.This is popular in Asian cuisine and these days getting familiar in Indian kitchens too!!!.I came across an interesting recipe called egg masala by Ms.Nandini Kini in a Food group,and whose couple of recipes are already posted in this blog earlier.I had some tofu lying and thought to give it out a try.I made slight alterations.Thnx Nandini Kini for this easy recipe.
