Welcome to my collection of Indian tofu recipes.
Tofu is not a traditional Indian ingredient but I've been using it as a substitute for paneer in my Indian and Indo-Chinese recipes since 2007, beginning with my recipe for vegan palak paneer. Although tofu doesn't have the rich mouth feel of paneer it has a similar texture and look, and its porous quality helps it absorb all those rich, spicy Indian sauces beautifully. Like paneer, tofu is loaded with protein and it also makes a good protein substitute in meat-based dishes.
I've shared so many Indian tofu recipes with you since, including vegan butter chicken, tofu makhani and tofu curry, with tips and techniques for creating better texture and authentic flavor. I make these recipes over and over in my kitchen and I hope you will find your next favorite tofu recipe here!
