This has been sitting in my draft for the longest time. The photos look pretty unappetizing even tho’ they tasted really good. All the  zing & zest of the flavor of ginger could not uplift the mood of this post. But  if i didn’t post it now it will never happen.

Tofu, or bean curd “is a food of Chinese origin, made by coagulating soy milk, and then pressing the resulting curds into blocks. There are many different varieties of tofu, including fresh tofu and tofu that has been processed in some way. Tofu has very little flavor or smell on its own, so it can be used either in savory or sweet dishes, and is often seasoned or marinated to suit the dish.”

This is probably the easiest recipe resulting in a beautiful, delicious & healthy treat. After I made these, I was wondering why the restaurants do not go beyond Meat & Paneer in their Tandoori options.

The above picture is for CLICK! Cheese/Tofu hosted by the Jugalbandis.  None of us are particularly cheese lovers in our family. We do very limited things with cheese. So when I saw the theme of CLICK at the beginning of the month, I was doubtful whether I would participate this time. I would be lying tho’ if I said I did not try to shoot some “Cheese”….However we have pretty well embraced the Vegan Paneer: Tofu.  This might not be a so Terrific CLICK!, but I promise you that it does taste Terrific.
