Tofu Kofta Curry

Tofu is one of the most significant food items in East Asia and is abundant in supply . But it is difficult to cook according to Indian taste. In Korea Tofu is mostly eaten with Soy Sauce or Kimchi (kind of Korean pickle) . It looks similar to Paneer or Cottage Cheese but tastes a little bland to many Indians. Tofu is considered to be very nutritious and healthy, so it should be part of our regular diet. This point made me experiment with tofu and I came up with a simple Indian version of tofu dish . Hope this recipe makes you welcome tofu in your kitchen too.

Sweet & Sour Tomato Orange Chutney

I was rummaging through my fridge wondering if anything is left from last week's supply , then my eyes got stuck on some lovely cherry tomatoes . I bought a lot of tomatoes but I didn't use very much and didn't want to spoil them . So decided to make chutney that we can have with paratha or with simple rice menu .  In  bengali occasions no meal is complete without chutney . So this is bengali sweet & sour tomato chutney but with some variation .  In this I mixed some oranges and instead of Dates I used dried Figs , the simple reason for using Figs was that I didn't have Dates at home and my baby doesn't like to eat dried Figs , which happens to be very healthy too . So here goes the simple recipe .
