Meatless meals give you the opportunity to appreciate veggies and its a good idea to go meat-free a few times during the week.If you like Indian food then there are myriad of vegetarian recipes that you can cook for each mealtime.Our Sunday Supper team has decided to go meatless today and I’m so excited!

My contribution to this event is my Tofu and Peas curry that tastes delicious with all the flavorful spices and it’s also healthy.This dish is traditionally made using Paneer, but Tofu is packed with protein and low in saturated fat that makes it a perfect alternative to Paneer.I shallow fry the Tofu until pale golden and that gives it a lovely texture and helps it hold its shape.

The Tofu takes on all the deliciousness and gets coated in the sauce along with the peas that add a lovely vibrant color to the dish.Scoop it with Roti,Naan or just plain rice.If you love curry then this recipe can be the base for many of your dishes.Substitute the Tofu for your favorite vegetable and enjoy a curry night in the comfort of your own home.
