Hey lara Just saw your guide it's super good!! If it's firm enough I guess you can try to pan fry it but I must say it looks delicious all by itself :)

I'll definitely try this!!! Do you think you can make it with homemade tofu? I just posted a recipe for homemade tofu, I'm looking for something to do with it. Thanks for sharing.

I like tofu a lot. I used to do this with Paneer tried the same recipe with tofu and turned out good. I didn't know we also get fried tofu hmmm nice...I'll definitely give it a try :)

I didn't know Indian people ate tofu! How fusion of you :) I bet you could buy the fried cubes from the market and use 'em just like paneer, too. Cool recipe!
